Monster Leftism

 

The great political and socio-economic ideal of all time is freedom, also known as liberalism. Historically, the best and most liberal system of government ever was America around 1800. But the U.S. was still far from fully free and politically perfect.

Even during George Washington’s reign, government funding wasn’t voluntary and contractual. The state fascistly punished private “vice” somewhat. There were a few oligarchic government-protected business monopolies. There were socialist roads, parks, schools, money, and mail delivery. And other tyrannical things. Founding Fathers America wasn’t an entirely free society and couldn’t be called a pure liberia.

As the 1800s progressed, America followed post-revolutionary France’s lead and deviated away from liberty and justice for all. The U.S. took two paths: right-wing conservatism and left-wing progressivism. Altho’ the demarcations weren’t clear and consistent, the conservatives tended to support economic liberty while opposing significant elements of social and personal liberty. The progressives tended to support social and personal liberty while opposing significant elements of economic liberty.

And that’s the way it stayed up until the 1960s.

As late as the 1940s and 1950s you could spot conservative Republicans and Democrats opposing equal rights for the different races, genders, and sexualities while supporting censorship of books, movies, plays, singers, comedians, and entertainers. Progressive Republicans and Democrats favored civil rights and social freedom on all these issues. Conservatives also wanted strong tyranny for victimless “crimes” like drugs, prostitution, and gambling, while progressives usually wanted these private activities legalized or only lightly coerced.

But while conservative Republicans and Democrats may have been fascists and political failures when it came to social and personal liberty in the 1940s and 1950s, they largely reversed this economically. Conservatives righteously opposed the 1930s New Deal and the growing socialism thereafter. Progresssive Republicans and Democrats, in turn, favored the growth of government tyranny when it came to economic programs like the above, as well as Medicare, Medicaid, expanded Welfare, expanded unemployment benefits, expanded government housing, and the like.

But all that changed in the 1960s. The Democrats became the party of intense progressivism, with few or no conservatives. The Republicans became the party of intense conservatism, with few or no progressives. And both leading political philosophies significantly changed their relationship to liberalism and political freedom.

The progressives or Leftists no longer much supported the liberalization of victimless “crime” laws, whereas the conservatives and Republicans sort of did. The Leftists no longer supported equal treatment for whites and blacks, nor for men and women, while the Rightists mostly did. Progressives after 1965 or so opposed civil rights and wanted privileges for “minorities”, often called “affirmative action” discrimination. But this favortism for one tribe over another was socio-economic fascism and tyranny – which the conservatives used to favor. Now the Right was comparatively on the side of liberty and justice, with the Left on the side of government coercion and “social justice”.

After the “counter-culture”, "hippie generation”, and “Age of Aquarius”, the New Left was noticeably more illiberal and anti-liberty than the Right. The conservatives or Rightists of the post-1960s were certainly not liberals or capitalists or any kind of libertarians. But they weren’t nearly as illiberal or pro-tyranny as the updated progressives or New Left. The great philosopher Ayn Rand even identified the New Leftists as being neo-savages and enemies of the Industrial Revolution. And indeed their rejection of large elements of Western Civilization was horrific.

But by 2015 or so, and as exemplified by Senator Bernie Sanders, the philosophy of left-wing progressivism became significantly worse. Both president Barack Obama and president Joe Biden openly boasted they sought to “fundamentally transform America”. Their opposition to America’s liberal or libertarian essence was profound.

The current Left openly advocates socio-personal fascism and economic socialism. Their love of Orwellian enslavement is strong. The so-called progressives – who actually favor massive regression from the European Enlightenment and America’s Founding Fathers – now want a new New Deal or Green New Deal. After the disastrous retreats on liberty in the 1930s and 1960s, the Left wants still more. They now want Big Brother to almost completely take over education and health care. 

And to further their ends, and based upon general principles, the Left even wants to censor most political and philosophical debate, as well as most art and entertainment. Their logic is "hate speech isn't free speech," and false and bigoted views aren't protected by law. Overall, if you dispute the woke Left you must be a bad person, hence your ideas and yourself must be “canceled”. What could be more evil than this?

The new-era regressives have even changed their mind on immigration. They currently want as many low-quality Hispanics, blacks, Moslems, and Third World savages as they can get. However much this devastates America, they don’t care. The new-era Leftists desire them as new voters in order to promote their new politics of fascism, socialism, and tyranny. Unbelievably, the ultra-progressives and new New Leftists now reject merit and quality in American immigration.

Perhaps most shockingly, the evolved and woke Left now favors racism and sexism. In the recent past, they ferociously opposed them. But now their philosophy is tribalist bigotry like “critical race theory”, i.e. “hate whitey, kill whitey”. According to the finest thinkers on the Left, all whites and males are evil by nature. Everything they do, by definition, is bigoted and wicked. And anyone who doesn’t admit this is an advocate of “white supremacy” and “the patriarchy”. Anyone who doesn’t automatically revile and loath whites and males – including other whites and males – is a lover of the KKK and Hitler.

And so the Monster Left is born. Their hatred of liberty is intense. Their ignorance and depravity is amazing. They want individual rights and justice for all to just die.

The post-2015 Monster Left’s love of collectivism and authoritarianism is profound. Pretty much all forms of liberalism need to be crushed. Virtually all aspects of socio-personal libertarianism, economic capitalism, and political liberty need to be terminated.

Monster Leftism loathes Western Civilization, America, capitalism, freedom, whites, males, open debate, free speech, and Enlightenment liberalism. Monster Leftism adores fascism, socialism, and tyranny. Ultimately, the Monster Leftists favor a politics and world of communism, Marxism, Stalinism, Kymer Rouge-style genocide, and Big Brother-style total enslavement.
