Analysis of Radical Leftism and Terrorism

This is a distinctive and unique evil.

It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else,

a hatred for civilization itself.

It is a revolt of the worst against the best,

a revolt of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good.

It is perpetrated by those who cannot build,

who cannot create,

who cannot achieve great things,

and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to

destroy those who can.

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.

For these architects of revolutionary violence,

the towering achievement of our civilization, for them, it's an unbearable

humiliation,

a reminder of what they cannot do and a reminder of what they cannot be.

So they choose instead to destroy.

They attack pipelines.

They attack railroads,

they attack power grids and laboratories,

the physical embodied symbols of power and invention and achievement.

This is the nature of the terrorism we face today.

They despise the West because the West is great.
