1.The British Labour Party and our Democrat/Liberal Party suffer from the same weakness: they don’t understand that
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone” Matthew 4:4
Or…even earlier iteration:
3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone….” Deuteronomy 8:3
There is something else mankind needs.
2. For the secular mind, bread….representative of material things…are the only things. Left-wing ideas are predicated on Marx’s materialist view. Philosophically, the term implies that only material things are real, hence the overarching need to have everyone economically equal.
“The Left’s concept of materialism broadens into the overarching desire to see every individual materially equal. The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it, and has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.”
Dennis Prager
The brutal loss by Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party should give pause to the impeachment fanatics, and with good reason. Both Libs and Labour share the same materialist view. And it is sorely wanting…as Labour just found.
The following is by a British voter, one who always voted Left….but he recognized what was missing from materialism. In it there is a lesson for Democrats/Liberals/Progressives.
3. “…the British working-class was not, in the end, willing to throw its weight behind a London-centric, youth-obsessed, middle-class party that preached the gospels of liberal cosmopolitanism and class war…. the so-called Red Wall to have crumbled so spectacularly underlines the sheer scale of the failure…. no surprise to anyone who was paying attention and wasn’t blinded by ideology or fanaticism.
4. …in the local and European elections, Labour haemorrhaged support in several working-class communities across the north and Midlands. But the woke liberals and Toytown revolutionaries who now dominate the party didn’t listen to us. [And the Trump victory in 2016.]
5. They believed that constantly hammering on about economic inequality would be enough …. they made a major miscalculation: they failed to grasp that working-class voters desire something more than just economic security; they want cultural security too.” Is this the end for Labour? - UnHerd
Are you Liberals listening?
