The Left versus The West

[PoliticalChic]

I 'exposed' my brilliance, and exceptional knowledge....

You exposed nothing but your admiration for the one who indoctrinates you.

Love this guy, Dennis Prager.
His latest exegesis explains the greatest threat to Western Civilization, the new religion, Leftism.



He begins by explaining why Leftist belief has been so very attractive to many folks.

Yet....there is still not a single example of anything in my posts, my thesis, that is incorrect.

Why are you back? You've been exposed as an abyss of ignorance.



You are to intelligent thought what the kazoo is to classical music.

Just between the two of us.....how many times a day to you wish you had the education, and ability, to respond to my posts in a cogent fashion?


And...along those lines.... Interesting that both you and Netanyahu have the same nick name…”BB”…him due to his first name, you, due to brain size.

Mostly because when people try to engage you in a discussion, you talk past them, and it's not even clear that you understood their response.

To whit, why do you whine all day about the mass slaughters of communists but ignore the ones by capitalists.

It's like the old joke that the Southern Matrons knew who fathered the mulattos on the neighboring plantation, but never their own.

4. Sooo….where do so very many find meaning now that religion doesn’t provide same?

Economics. Marx was right all along. Man is born into this world with one primary need, the need to reproduce the conditions for his existence.

Prager promotes a book written by a man who proclaims that the meaning of life is found in living. And then proceeds to use that to justify the belief that meaning is found in religion. And you don't see anything wrong with that? Does the book that he promotes really conflict with the beliefs of Karl Marx as Prager suggests?

The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man – state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d’honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.

Good OP. Thankfully the number of voters who want communism or socialism is vert small. Capitalism is alive and well and will continue into the forseeable future.

“Marx saw man’s primary drive as economic,..."

A refutation, from Edwin Arlington Robinson:

Richard Cory
BY EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Witch burning...like #MeToo?

Hmmm... Really? This is the best you can come up with? Did they burn Harvey Weinstein when I wasn't looking?

orturing global warming heretics?

Really. when did this happen? I'd pay good money to see those corporate whores tortured, but it's not to be.

You are not this stupid Joe. You can stop pretending.

Somehow I don't believe that is actually a refutation of Marx.

Richard Cory was a man who had satisfied his prime need in life, while those around him struggled to do so, and thus his life lost meaning.

A revealing comparison of the two religions…the Judeo-Christian basis of Western Civilization, and the new one, Leftism.



9. “Leftism’s guiding principles — notwithstanding the principles of those Christians and Jews who claim to be religious yet hold leftist views — are the antitheses of Judaism and Christianity’s guiding principles.


Judaism and Christianity hold that people are not basically good. Leftism holds that people are basically good. Therefore, Judaism and Christianity believe evil comes from human nature, and leftism believes evil comes from capitalism, religion, the nation-state (i.e. nationalism), corporations, the patriarchy and virtually every other traditional value.





10. Judaism and Christianity hold that utopia on Earth is impossible — it will only come in God’s good time as a Messianic age or in the afterlife.
Leftism holds that utopia is to be created here on Earth — and as soon as possible. That is why leftists find America so contemptible. They do not compare it to other nations but to a utopian ideal — a society with no inequality, no racism, no differences between the sexes (indeed, no sexes) and no greed in which everything important is obtained free.


Judaism and Christianity believe God and the Bible are to instruct us on how to live a good life and how the heart is the last place to look for moral guidance. Leftists have contempt for anyone who is guided by the Bible and its God, and substitute the heart and feelings for divine instruction.

11. Having allowed the flowering of the dynamic religion of Communism, Leftism…. contemporary Liberalism…..the demand for the creation of Utopia here-and-now…the new religion shows their hatred of America.

“The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, did Americans a favor last week.

“America … was never that great,” he announced.

In one sentence, the governor revealed the left’s true view of America.




Michelle Obama provided such a statement when, as her husband began racking up victories in early-voting states in the 2008 primary season, she proclaimed, “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.”

Hillary Clinton provided her example during the 2016 election when she described half of her fellow Americans as “deplorables.”


…we all know what young people are taught from elementary school through graduate school by their left-wing teachers: America is a racist country founded by racists; Americans committed genocide against the American Indians; whites have unique privileges because of America’s “systemic” racism; in the words of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, “the hard truth about our criminal justice system: It’s racist … front to back”; police are racist — both white and black cops shoot blacks because of racism; and “American civilization” and “Western civilization” are no more than euphemisms for white supremacy.”

Naw, man, you were the one who compared the real murder and torture done by superstition bible thumping fucks to people who had career issues because they did something stupid.

Maybe we should just let Political Spice do all her number-pointed crazy so she gets it out of her system.

[Tehon]

If we are to discuss "leftism" as a religion that supersedes the moral authority of judeo Christian authority then we must look at how individualism, which was also birthed by the enlightenment, conflicts with the moral authority of the church.

We can also call into question the capitalist mode of production which knows only one God, profit.

 

[Tehon]

The great sociologist Émile Durkheim wrote that religion was “eminently social.” In his view, religion and ritual were the scaffolding that held societies together, bound individuals into collective units, and wove the fabric of culture. Since Durkheim’s era, many findings have confirmed that there is a powerful link between religiosity and sociality. For instance, atheists tend to be more individualistic and less interested in conforming to social norms than believers, and the countries where religion has declined the most rapidly are also among the world’s most individualistic.
Individualism is increasing worldwide. What does that mean for religion?

"‘Friending’ God Can Restore Purpose In Life For Lonely Or Anti-Social People
Religious people have a stronger sense of belonging and purpose, even if they struggle to find footing in social settings.

Conversely, the authors say, when people don’t feel like they belong in a group or feel unsupported in their relationships, they’re more likely to lack direction or struggle to see meaning in life. Turning to faith and “friending” a divine being can help replace some of the functions of human relationships, they found."
'Friending' God Can Restore Purpose In Life For Lonely Or Anti-Social People - Study Finds




Looks like Prager was on to something....

 

[DustyInfinity]

Prager was one of the few to point out that religion has to be replaced with something. The soviets thought the Christian aspect of America was a strength. An unified sense of right and wrong was indeed a great strength. We were one people who thought treating others well was important and that everyone could find salvation. Now, there doesn't seem to be anything deemed as wrong, and people believe that right or wrong is subjective. This is nothing short of a disaster.

 

[ptbw forever]

France’s revolution-by-mob has become an inspiration to be imitated in Germany, Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, North Korea, Venezuela, in short, for liberals everywhere.

Why do you always leave out the events where Capitalist governments have done awful things.

The Transatlantic slave trade
The exploitation of the Congo
The genocide of Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians.

I recently found out about a new one I hadn't heard about before, the Bengal Famine of 1943.

The Bengal Famine: How the British engineered the worst genocide in human history for profit

Winston Churchill, the hallowed British War prime minister who saved Europe from a monster like Hitler was disturbingly callous about the roaring famine that was swallowing Bengal’s population. He casually diverted the supplies of medical aid and food that was being dispatched to the starving victims to the already well supplied soldiers of Europe. When entreated upon, he said, “Famine or no famine, Indians will breed like rabbits.” The Delhi Government sent a telegram to him painting a picture of the horrible devastation and the number of people who had died. His only response was, “Then why hasn’t Gandhi died yet?"

Now, I worked with an older Indian gentleman a few years back, and he referred to Churchill as a bastard. Now I see why.

Since I know you won't address these points directly, please proceed to cut and paste your numbered crazy.

That is nothing compared to what is being done to Europe.
