[Prophet in the wilderness]

The BIBLE says in : I Corinthians I : 26 - 29 . KJV
" 26. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty , not many noble, are called.
27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise ; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the the things which are mighty ,
28. And base things of the world , ( and things which are despised ) , hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are .
29. That ( no flesh ) should glory in his presence.

True enough, but consider this; most leftists have an ultra-simplistic worldview, and they think that everyone else is too stupid to see it. If only we can create a one-world state, seize all private property, nationalize all commerce and production, and outlaw everything which is deemed by them to be harmful to the collective good, then everything will be fine. The problem is that they're too stupid to see, or admit if they do see, that this is exactly what's wrong with North Korea, Cuba, and China, and why the Soviet Union fell.
Also, what they see as complexity we in the real world see as wishy-washyness. Moral ambiguity, which is the hallmark of the hard left, is what they use for complexity. It is actually a sub-genius sort of brilliance to at once be in denial of reality in theory and practice, and not go insane, though not all manage to stay sane.
Case in point: most liberals, leftists, fascists, etc. in America and Europe, are of the priveleged class. They are mainly trustfunders or academics or artists, none being very useful to society in practice, and they are by and large fairly well off, but they hate rich people. Rather, they hate anyone who has earned their wealth the hard way rather than by inheritance or through multi-million dollar movie and record deals. They also seem to universally support the seizure of assets from these evil capitalists so that they can be redistributed to the poor, but they themselves, being the intelligentsia, are untouchable.
Their philosophy is taken chapter and verse from the Communist Manifesto, yet they live like princes. No wonder they love totalitarian dictators, they are spiritual kin. Never expect anything any of them says to make sense, and don't even listen to them except to refute them, they are parasitic worms on the Tree of Liberty.
