6. Simple, and accurate, motto for the Left: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’
Started with the French Revolution.
Although attributed to Rousseau, it was Diderot who gave the model for totalitarianism of reason: “We must reason about all things,” and anyone who ‘refuses to seek out the truth’ thereby renounces his human nature and “should be treated by the rest of his species as a wild beast.” So, once ‘truth’ is determined, anyone who doesn’t accept it was “either insane or wicked and morally evil.” It is not the individual who has the “ right to decide about the nature of right and wrong,” but only “the human race,” expressed as the general will.
Himmelfarb, “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68
Sounds totally like today's Democrat Party: it brooks no deviation from their opinion.
Robespierre used Rousseau’s call for a “reign of virtue,’ proclaiming the Republic of Virtue, his euphemism for The Terror.
In ‘The Social Contract’ Rousseau advocated death for anyone who did not uphold the common values of the community: the totalitarian view of reshaping of humanity, echoed in communism, Nazism, progressivism. Robespierre: “the necessity of bringing about a complete regeneration and, if I may express myself so, of creating a new people.”
Himmefarb, , “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68.
It’s the mark of every Leftist movement: death.
None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life:
not communism (gulags),
not Nazism (concentration camps),
not Liberalism (abortion),
not Progressivism (eugenics),
not socialism (theft),
fascism (murder).
They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.
