Is the left worth saving?
American Thinker ^ | 9 Nov, 2024 | D. Parker

Or is 400 years’ worth of a failed ideology enough?

Ruy Teixeira and others of the far left have been trying to figure out what went horribly wrong in their electoral defeat, but they’re starting from the wrong premise: that this is about the “Shattering of the Democratic Coalition.”

Their problem is at a far more fundamental level.

The rest of the leftists are refusing to look inward. Instead, they’re blaming others and doubling down on what defeated them in the first place. But it’s time to consider the cost of lives and misery of the people in entertaining the Utopian fantasies of a small cadre of collectivists and refusing to indulge them any longer. It’s time to reject the ideologies of collectivism, no matter how they’ve been repackaged and renamed over the years to dupe another set of devotees into their cult. It’s been 400 years of mass murder and misery on a global scale. When you consider the historical evidence, it should be easy to say no to a small and spoiled socialist segment that wants to pursue this insanity.

In many ways, the far-left ruling class should be like an alcoholic who has hit rock bottom before he can recover. These leftists are collectively out of touch and ideologically bankrupt. They are still invested in the absolute lie that communism (or one of the other labels) has never been tried before, so it can’t be that. But anyone with common sense should know that leftists are like a used car salesman who has to keep changing names after he’s caught cheating customers.

Collectivism — or its many variants — has been inflicted on mankind for centuries, and lies and language legerdemain are the only way to get a new generation to fall for the trap.

It is the eternal between good and evil. In the inverted thinking of the left, many believe evil is good.

God’s curse is not being able to distinguish good from evil. If a person doesn’t hate evil then they don’t have God within them. I pray that all people will accept God’s blessing instead, but many refuse to. This is why there is so much suffering in the world.

Yes. So many on the left call themselves atheists, but in reality satan is in their hearts.

No thank you.

Yes, he is an angel of light, and very wise. He portrays himself has God, and has fooled many. Even those who are wary of this very thing.

Hell no!

Is the Party of Hate and Evil worth saving? Hell no!

Is the party of slavery, infanticide, lynching, racism, open borders, drug abuse, crime, sexual perversion, election fraud, political corruption, the American gulag, the destruction of the USA, and every other evil ever devised by man or the devil worth saving? Hell no!

Very well said.

I am not even sure of what the 400 years is in reference to. That is too brief a timespan. This is a part of humanity. You will not “breed” it out of us. A Godly and just society contains it.

The excerpt contains a nugget. These people are incapable of looking within. Paranoia and the blaming of others is part and parcel with the communist mind. The Russian people, since their revolution, have been the modern vanguards of communism. They are historically, obviously paranoid, as well. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, they are now just paranoid.

The huckster, the Bernie Sanders blamer-of-others grifter will always be with us. Society should shun them, though and would be better off if it did.

Absolutely worth saving! Conservative talk shows would lose half and the most hilarious part of their talk shows.

Correctamundo.

The Left promotes its Marxist ideology through indoctrination, feeding followers a steady stream of false information that pushes, even demands, that they see the world as divided into oppressors and the oppressed. At its core, Marxism is victimology.

Victimology requires people to view the world only through their feelings. Rational thought, critical thinking, and logic—including math and science—are disregarded.

Feelings become paramount.

Consider what many “woke” individuals say about their identities: men who feel feminine claim they are genuine women, while those who feel like victims of racism are validated as such—and anyone who doesn’t cater to these feelings is immediately labeled “racist.”

This behavior (I would call it “thinking,” but it isn’t) causes adults to regress into childlike mindsets and encourages young people to avoid growing up.

Just this week at Harvard University, we saw this attitude in action: they offered upset students a “safe space” complete with cookies and milk to soothe feelings about the Trump election.

The entire Left increasingly resembles a group of overgrown children who resent reality itself, much as spoiled children resent their parents.

The left provides a gathering place for the morally bankrupt.

It delineates the no-go zones so the rest of us can make safe “travel” plans.

Well, no one is beyond redemption.

However, what they represent certainly is not.

I agree. Demoncrats should never be in positions of authority or influence. And they should not be allowed around children.

They may not be beyond redemption but unless I missed it, they don't seek redemption.

The left needs to be eradicated and the best place to start is the school systems and colleges. Clean them out
