The left has never adapted to the transition from nationalistic wars to ideological wars. It took the left a while to grasp that the Nazis were a fundamentally different foe than the Kaiser and that pretending that World War 2 was another war for the benefit of colonialists and arms dealers was the behavior of deluded lunatics. And yet much of the left insisted on approaching the war in just that fashion, and had Hitler not attacked Stalin, it might have remained stuck there. People used to talk about WWII being the time when America was united, but the truth is that the Left in the U.S. was extremely anti-war right to the day that Hitler invaded the USSR. Then they spun 180 degrees and started to call for the U.S. to enter the war immediately to "stop Hitler".
As soon as the war ended, the U.S. Left set about giving our secrets to the Soviets and doing everything they could to work against us.

Brilliant stuff. He is so right about the self-centeredness and blind intellectual rigidity of the left. The left truly lives in a dream world that doesn’t account for the intelligence and ideological drivenness of other movements. The left is only able to see them as victims struggling against Western imperialism per its limited model (or its narrow view through the garret window as he puts it). He is really on to something here.

The left's rigid view of history has caused it problems before. It rejected Zionism as a historical aberration, and spent over a century fighting against the idea with spiteful hate, propaganda, terrorism and tanks. In the left's view of history, a Jewish State is an attempt to turn back time by building a state whose roots are in religious scripture. Israel is ahistorical and must therefore be destroyed. Nice observation. I've never understood the left's anti-Israel stance, and this is a logical explanation that I'll have to give serious thought.

islam is an evil, leftist political movement like communism but hides behind the veil of a false, satanic “religion”.
The satanic leftists are very good at relabeling their brand names for a more positive image:
Marxists -> Communists -> Progressives -> Liberals -> Progressives
Homosexual -> gay/lesbo/etc

We’re forced to duel with Islamism with our right hand only, while our left hand is tied behind our back, trying to stab us.

No problem, as long as you have duct tape.
