Has the left crapped out?
The following article offers several interesting observations:
The Left Craps Out, by J.R. Dunn , American Thinker, June 26, 2020.
1. The article states: "Throughout the 20th century, the left’s problem with the United States was the lack of a proletariat to lead against the oppressors. The American working class was the farthest thing in the world from an 'oppressed' – they lived better than all but the ruling classes in most societies. What did they have to revolt against?"
2. Thus, "a revolutionary situation simply refused to develop. No thesis, no antithesis, and certainly no synthesis." Here, the author is referring to the Hegelian Dialectic, the driving engine behind Marxism.
See: What Is The Hegelian Dialectic?
First described by Enlightenment German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the Hegelian Dialectic is a mechanism to arrive at a final truth or conclusion. Right now you probably use the Aristotelian method for arriving at truth, which is to observe all the facts of the situation and then make the most logical conclusion based from those observations. Hegel explained a process where truth is instead arrived through the friction and conflict between one force (the thesis) and its opposite (the antithesis). The final result from that clash, the synthesis, is the best conclusion.
In all likelihood, the synthesis is not the final and absolute truth. It becomes the new thesis where a new antithesis forms to oppose it. The conflict between them leads to a second synthesis. This process repeats...
In plain terms, the Hegelian Dialectic is the battle of two extremes to get a result that is somewhere in the middle. That result will develop an opposing force of its own and the ensuing battle yields another result....
3. The China virus has resulted in a V-shaped recovery. President Trump remains highly popular. "Add in the fact that his Democrat opponent a half-senile ancient dogged with numerous ethical, sexual, and criminal scandals, and we can see why the Left was running scared."
4. "And there’s no question that this [rioting was] planned -- the preplaced brick supplies, weapons caches, and communications on social media allow no other conclusion."
5. "The BLM uprising was designed to take out the president... The Left figured that once American cites were occupied by BLM and Antifa stormtroopers, Trump, being a racist and a tyrant, would immediately respond with a massive military intervention. This would in turn encourage further uprisings and enable the Left to play the 'fascist' card in the leadup to the Fall elections."
"Instead of exploding, the President behaved like the leader of a federal republic, demanding that the states and cities fulfill their responsibilities to the citizenry while assuring the public that he was ready to move if necessary."
6. "The fact that the best that the Left, the tribunes of the people, can come up with is a reflection of the worst dystopian nightmares of decades past speaks for itself.."
The author then asks, "How to explain this? ... The best I can come up with is a comparison to the banzai charges of the late Pacific War, a crazed, screaming mass deprived of any rational alternative scrambling madly toward some impossible victory."
"The Antifa mob holds downtown Seattle? Let them keep it. The people of Seattle, and Milwaukee, and Chicago, voted for this – have been voting for it for decades – and now here it is. It’s time to pay the piper."
The author concludes that the Left is notorious for self-destruction.
And yet our country is burning - metaphorically and literally.
We are witnessing the culmination of the long march of socialism through our educational system. This summer's pre-planned riots aren't a flash in the political pan. They are a manifestation of the Left's intent to destroy the very substance of America - our history, our statues, and our founding ethnic stock.
By eradicating American history, values, and cohesiveness, the Left intends to pave the way for a socialist state to take hold. Today's riots are but one step in the long march.
While this summer's riots will be extinguished, the festering Marxist Left is by no means self-destructing. Indeed, its values have been intrinsically adopted by the Democrat party and Corporate America, which eagerly panders to the rioters' contrived agenda while donating to the Democrat party through Marxist Black Lives Matter.
