Why aren't the fascist far-left leaving the country they loathe?
People usually don't try to transform and then destroy that which they love, so why aren't they just leaving?
These days, the Babylon Bee has the range, and it's putting its rhetorical rounds right on target. Now it's just firing for effect, from a story about a man catching up on the latest news by reading two-year-old posts on a conspiracy blog to a satirical report from a few years ago about a group of leftists heading for the Socialist Paradise of Venezuela.
It brings up a point you might have been asking yourself for quite some time: why aren't they leaving? Why haven't the authoritarians of the fascist far left packed their bags and set off for greener collectivist fields, leaving the rest of us alone?
Why are the tyrannical ten percent sticking around when it's nothing like their authoritarian floor model, the big shiny communist nation of China, with its "socialism with Chinese characteristics" that they love?
How can they stomach dealing with a nation where people are just allowed to say or write whatever they want and defend themselves with — dare we say it — guns? How do they live in a nation where people are just allowed to have gas stoves, lawnmowers, and chainsaws? Where the government in its infinite wisdom cannot penalize the people for wrongthink? Where all of that liberty-induced stress puts a strain on their already fragile psyches?
Why are they still here when they could move to perfect examples of the Utopia (that means "no place") that they want to impose on us that already exist around the world? They pine for the "worker's paradise" perfection that was national socialist Germany, the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, and communist China,

Hate America much as they will, leftists CANNOT leave, because there is nowhere else in the world that would tolerate that kind of crap from what those other nations regard as foreign trash. They would be deported almost immediately.
Leftists already in other nations would not regard them as “brothers (or sisters) in arms”, but as foreign interlopers trying to shoulder their way into the rackets of the local leftists.
Lenin had one good idea - in Soviet Russia you had to work six days a week. The seventh day was your day off, the subbotnik which I believe is Russian for “Sabbath”. Lenin said wouldn’t it be a better use of your time if you spent the Subbotnik cleaning streets, toilets, painting, etc.? Voluntary but not really. What a wonderful idea for these layabout leftists. They can follow the advice of their spiritual leader, get off their duffs, and practice what they preach for the first time.
Bernie Sanders got kicked out of his commune because he was so lazy and didn’t do anything there.
Life Among the Ruins:
The few sowed the wind, and the many reaped their whirlwind.

American society is facing three existential crises not unlike those that overcame the late Roman, and a millennium later, terminal Byzantine, empires.
Premodern Barbarism:
We are suffering an epidemic of premodern barbarism. The signs unfortunately appear everywhere. Over half a million homeless people crowd our big-city downtowns.
Most know the result of such Medieval street living is unhealthy, violent, and lethal for all concerned. Yet no one knows—or even seems to worry about—how to stop it.
So public defecation, urination, fornication, and injection continue unabated. Progressive urban pedestrians pass by holding their noses, averting their gazes, and accelerating the pace of their walking. The greenest generation in history allows its sidewalks to become pre-civilizational sewers. In a very brief time, we all but have destroyed the downtowns of our major cities—which will increasingly become vacant in a manner like the 6th-century A.D. Roman forum.

do parasites leave the host?
Leftists tend to be weird and unattractive.
Because the want to subsume America into a World Government.
They hate the principles of America because they stand between them and their desire for power and profit — and a return to slavery.
You win for the best answer to question asked by the article. Your answer says it all in a nutshell.
Rarely has there been a more naive statement that than one.
The Left may hate our form of government but still want the land--with all its natural beauty and wealth--and our infrastructure.
This is like a convenience store owner, who is being robbed by a bunch of gimmedats, saying "if you hate me so much, why don't you go to Venezuela?"
"Cause you gots the stuff, idiot!"
In true FR tradition, I refuse to read such an article (unless someone tells me that there is some asset there worth robbing).;-)
“The Left may hate our form of government but still want the land— ... —and our infrastructure.”
The same reasons China wants to take us over.
Could you imagine the Leftists watching the USA prosper with Individual freedom and Economic Liberty. Getting back to actually creating value and liftin up all Americans from afar.
I live by the creed: Success is the Best Revenge.
Democrats/Communists/Leftists don’t hate America enough to leave, it’s Americans they hate ... and they’re working diligently with a frightened, ignorant citizenry to remove these “non-Leftist” Americans they hate so very much.
“It’s Satanism, not leftism.” Or, Good versus Evil. It only makes “sense” if you view it that way.
1 Peter 5:8 King James Version 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
If you tell these men that America is where the women are and, after winning a war with the U.S., they can have their pick, do you suppose these lonely men will fight?
BTW, these men in China's army are lonely and angry--very angry--about the lack of women.
Or the mothership?;-)
They wont walk away from ‘free stuff’.... EVER!
they don’t hate America, they hate the fact that we have 2 parties here, one good party, conservatives, and one evil party, liberals.
They wanna turn every state into a liberal hell hole, so that they can co trol the masses, and the right isn’t letting them do so- that is what they hate
Fixed it.
