Well, you know what they say. The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I’d think the racial politics alone would cure any taxpaying leftist with any semblance of an education.

It is a good read, it would be nice if he made us a shorter version for passing on to others.

I was watching “The Autobiography Of Nicolae Ceausescu” and what struck me forcefully was how a young man who was genuinely adored by his people turned into a soulless monster over time.
There is something about leftist/communist philosophies that corrupts people and turns them into people who believe the means justify the end. When your only ethics is power then things go straight down the road to hell. You may have all the ideals and best intentions in the world but being ignorant of the consequences involved in them can lead to one’s ruin.
That’s why I conclude such philosophies can never work. It never worked in communist countries and it won’t work in America.

There is something about leftist/communist philosophies that corrupts people and turns them into people who believe the means justify the end. I think the cause is just plane old rejection. The commies get this vision of utopia that is unglued from reality and then throw a hissy fit when their wonderful (failed) ideas are rejected.

Danusha is a female, I think shortening it would lose its message.

There is Utopia, but it is not and never will be on earth.
God provides Utopia.
