Critique of Radical Leftism and Communism

This is what radical leftism is.

It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place and time.

They can call themselves anti capitalist or anti imperialist or communist

or anarchist or Marxist.

But the fundamental character is always the same. It's always the same.

It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of

equality and justice and liberation,

an overwhelming need to tear down what greater men have built, to wreck what

is beautiful and what is right on behalf of people who are only filled

with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world.

Through violence and through terror,

they once again seek to impose their ugliness on all of us.

The old dogma was wrong.

The old dogma was wrong. None of this is driven by idealism. It is not utopian.

In fact, it is the opposite.

One of the criticisms

you sometimes hear of communism, for example,

is that it sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice.

That's actually not true.

Communism does not sound good in theory.

The world it envisions for all of us is small,

flat, gray,

leveled of all exception,

drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul.

The world it envisions is a world without courage,

a world without creativity or ambition,

a world without heroes or glory or great causes to strive towards,

a world without miracles,

without myths, without men who rise above the rest to

do incredible and extraordinary things.

And the world communism envisions is a world without God.
