You, buckeye, have not identified the far left, the left, the old left, or the new left. You have conflated the Left with the Dems and the Centrists, and that is not so, and you certainly have not proved anything of the sort.
You talk about Karl Marx. Yes, the bourgeois revolutions of the French in 1789 and 1848 were exactly that, not those of communists, you idiot. Capitalism was not overthrown, nor was it intended to be overthrown. The monarrchy, not the economic system, was the target each time. You can believe in Marxian rhetoric all you want, but the fact remains the Marx's philosophy is wrong. And you somehow silly try to tie it all to the 'New Left' with rhetoric but not reality.
Bro, you have to identify the Left in all of its configurations. It is not one heap anymore than the right is a heap.
You have to make an argument with facts, not rhetoric, and we go from there. You made the assertion, now try to prove it. You don't get to make an assertion then ask me to disprove it with facts. That is not how it works, son.

Like I said Jefferson agreed with it at first, Heck even Burke did, but the violence is horrible, yet you still have new left people that LOVE the French Revolution and not just the begining.
Jake you criticise, so who are the "rational" left? Please educate me on the difference and who is in the side of liberalism?
You really think the NAACP is less radical than PETA? I mean what do they disagree on? OR is PETA part of the "rational" left?
So post something for us to look at.
You still conflate the New Left with the center, left of center, and democrats. They are not the same thing. Yes, the right and the left agree with the principles of the French Revolution, just not the violence.
You have yet to prove the French Revolution was protoMarxist. What a stupid comment by you, you know that?
The NAACP, women's lib, etc. are not PETA, ELF, or NAMBLA, and you know it.
You are getting your ass kicked because you are getting splattered with your tar brush.
Trying be historical and accurate: OK?
Sorry bro, but you have not answered one question. I keep asking you WHO Are the "rational" left? And how do their policies differ from the NEW left? All I get is attacks on mine.
Karl Marx: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
The German philosopher and founder of international communism, Karl Marx (1818–83), wrote on many occasions about the French Revolution, which he considered the first stage in an eventual worldwide proletarian revolution. In this relatively early work from 1852, Marx compares the French Revolution of 1789 with that of 1848. Marx considered the French Revolution the classic example of the "bourgeois revolution," in which capitalism overthrew feudalism, creating the legal conditions under which capitalism could flourish
He knew the results of the revolution and APPROVED of it as the first stage. you know the stages in his own Manifesto. So he supported the violence AND was influenced by the french revolution. Most people with a brain, know that the french revolution was the first real begining of modern communism. You had people who OVERTHREW VIOLENTLY (espoused by Marx and repeated by Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky). People who were ATheist (French Revolutionaries wanted a new calander and all kinds of crazy shit, and who else promotes atheisism and violence, the NEW left and that's just a start)
And when the NEW left likes to insult the middle class, guess what FRENCH word they use in a NEGATIVE way. Bougeosie...and that is a holdover from the.....FRENCH....REVOLUTION.
