On a recent C-Span Washington Journal, I asked the director of a Progressive policy institute, “How will I recognize the arrival of the social justice you seek. What will it look like?”
He responded that America will never get there, will never achieve social justice. I was initially surprised, but believe he told me the truth.
He meant continual revolution and oppression of opponents. With every leftist failure, they come up with another freedom grinding tyrannical measure to correct their past mistakes and continue to bleed our very souls.
Having taken over the machinery of government and society, the next leftist frontier is thought control. They are increasingly aggressive when it comes to those who disagree. Campus speech zones, prohibitions on “hurtful” language, global warming baloney, Common Core, takeover of the internet, threats to those who criticize Obama all point toward Stalinist/Maoist thought repression.
And we are told to just keep voting.
As David Horowitz (who knows their very souls) wrote in June 2000: "...For these self-appointed social redeemers, the goal—"social justice"—is not about rectifying particular injustices, which would be practical and modest, and therefore conservative. Their crusade is about rectifying injustice in the very order of things. "Social Justice" for them is about a world reborn, a world in which prejudice and violence are absent, in which everyone is equal and equally advantaged and without fundamentally conflicting desires. It is a world that could only come into being through a re-structuring of human nature and of society itself.
Even though they are too prudent and self-protective to name this future anymore, the post-Communist left still passionately believes it possible. But it is a world that has never existed and never will. Moreover, as the gulags and graveyards of the last century attest, to attempt the impossible is to invite the catastrophic in the world we know."....
“He responded that America will never get there, will never achieve social justice. I was initially surprised, but believe he told me the truth.”
He is absolutely correct. We will never get more ‘social justice’ than it takes to usher in a dictatorship, which is the goal the liberals seek.
>>The Left dominates EVERY major societal and governmental institution. Still, they will never be satisfied.
How did it get this way?! What have we been doing wrong? Nobody here has the cojones to tackle these questions. All I hear of FR is kvetching and carping about leftist intellectual and moral corruption. Well, ding dang, people, how the sam hell did that corruption and cognitive torpor turn us into an oppressed minority? Or is it WE who should bear that stigma? SMARTER...FASTER.
