“As radical activist Susan Schecter said, ‘I believe it is most urgent for this movement’s future to declare that violence against women is a political problem, a question of power and domination, and not an individual, pathological, or deviant one. Continuing to make violence against women public is itself a crucial continuing task. We also must become a movement led by battered women, women of color, and working class women. We must develop a progressive agenda, a long range vision of what kind of society is needed so that violence against women would not exist, and to ally with groups sharing a vision of a just society’.”
..... A PERFECT example of Leftist co-option and capture of an unrelated issue to further their socialist political agenda. They operate like termites.
Have you ever noticed that all “movements” of the left arrive at the same conclusion: utopia through coercion. Further that all movements of the left are dependent on some form of envy to motivate their followers. Too bad they never understood why envy was incorporated into the Ten Commandments. Envy is the one vice that not only harms the action agent but also harms all those who come into contact with the agent. All leftist movements require some form of superiority to bestow on their followers to permit them to knowingly act in a envious and selfish way. This superiority is normally the concept of “victim” to provide the rationale to enable people to willingly and virtously “victimize others” in their crusade for utopia. While they use the word “equal” they are too frightened and threatened by true equality and prefer to react towards society in a hidebound, ideologic manner. To them, there are the good guys (them) and the bad guys (the other). Recent examples: “climate deniers”, “rich bankers”, “rich anyone”, “men”, “white men” in particular. I have reached an age where I am sickened by the constant envious deconstruction of my being, faith, and moral precepts by the ever downward spiral of the lickspittle left. If they have the answer to happiness, why can’t they model the behavior rather than coerce the behavior? They are an empty people with an inexhaustable appetite to control their neighbor. I really think these people are devoid of honest human emotion and interaction. To interact honestly with another human is to recognize that persons equality. The left are the patronizing saints of envy. May they fail in flagrant humiliation.
"I find no place for leftism, that is, for any ideas that can trace their squalid genealogy back to Karl Marx. Marx, like every other philosopher, was an ingegralist. In his case, he was trying to integrate Hegel and materialism, or Falsehood with falsehood. In so doing he created many seductive intellectual pathologies that continue to infect the mind of man -- the ideas of class struggle, oppression, exploitation, and collectivism, which have morphed into critical theory, deconstruction, victimology, political correctness, radical environmentalism, gender theory, feminism, afro-centrism, multicultrualism, cultural relativism..."
"One more quick point: do not confuse our philosophy with a political party. Rather, we simply identify with the party on which our philosophy might have more influence. In the present political mindscape, it just so happens that there is absolutely no place in the Democratic party for people who hold certain foundational truths, such as that the Constitution means what it says, or that racial discrimination is wrong, or that competition would cure the ills of our sick educational system, or that the Judeo-Christian tradition is fundamental to America's identity and character."
"Remember, most of the problems in the world are caused by bad ideas of intellectuals -- including, of course Islamism. Think of all the bad leftist intellectual ideas of the 1960’s for which we will be paying for the rest of our lives."
