On the idea that humans are perfectable, especially as leftist think of perfection...
It has been said that Karl Marx, on reading Darwin’s work, hammered off a note to his partner in crime that he had found a basis in natural science for their beliefs.
I believe this needs to be looked at honestly in light of how the left says the various gulag states were somehow not what was intended.
The crux of my point is that Marx must have recognized that if there could be “natural selection” so too could there be unnatural selection, that the state could through enduring social manipulation take humans who were not fit to live in a communist society that Marx postulated could be altered in their basic nature to be such communistic creatures.
So for every lefty going on vapidly about how the communist ideal is stateless and government-less realize that they have been sold a bill of bads and are mindlessly passing it on. All the horrors, the tyranny, and the injustices meted out on human beings unfit for communism is exactly what Marx wanted. I’m not even gonna give the scumbag leeway to say that he underestimated the time and effort needed to force communistic “evolution” till these man-like communist beings (for in not sharing our nature they would not be Man as we are) could exist at all. Rather the untold generations to suffer that the new men might be made was just breaking eggs to make omelets and the left is far too dishonest to ever admit it.
Likewise Lysenkoism isn’t far from Marx, for if unnatural selection could be deemed likely to change Man into commu-mannish then why couldn’t there be a socialistic nature too?
Rings true. Bottom line, leftists have real contempt for people.
