While it is true that the new Marxists are not as doctrinaire as the old Soviet-controlled COMINTERN was, we are seeing the same fanaticism and the tired claim that "this time we will get it right". From the rehabilitation of Stalin's reputation in Russia, where he is viewed by something like 50% in a poll as the greatest man in history and statues of him are being set up.<br />Then there is Bernie Sanders in the US who is only getting more popular, once had a flag of the USSR on his Mayor's desk in Vermont. How about Justin Trudeau's tearful eulogy for Fidel Castro? Or one of Barak Obama's cabinet secretaries quoting approvingly from Mao Zedong? Jeremy Corbyn in the UK?<br />It seems people in the democratic West are getting tired of their democracies and are looking for fanciful utopian ideals. Looks like Santayana's statement "those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it" is more relevant than ever.Y.

It's personal experience for me. The FLN's official slogan was: "La valise ou le cerceuil" which means "The suitcase or the coffin". Go figure.<br />By the way, I think that the great synagogue of Algiers (after it was burned, and desecrated with plundered without measure was turned into a post-office.

Those whose heads are not up their own fundaments, have their heads up the combined scented jacksies of their current two Premier League football teams - and the attitudes of those opposing supporters personify the current zeitgeist of a City that was once a powerhouse of The Empire: arrogant, stupid and vociferous with it, despite the demographic demise of the real Manchester. Their teams, of course, reflective of the multi-culti melange.<br /><br />O England, my England; how suddenly thy glory faded. In the face of what? Ignorant savagery, within and without?

However, I suspect they both think the other is a useful idiot.<br /><br />The left no doubt thinks that when the smoke has cleared after tearing down western institutions, they will turn on and suppress the islamists. Check Iran out to see how well that worked. Russia and China have active Islamic insurgencies that they work overtime to keep a lid on.<br /><br />The UK and Western Europe may not be salvable. They need to act ASAP to save their heritage and culture.

And don't bother to recite to me the "different kinds of socialism." They all boil down to government's tyrannical control over the life of citizens.<br /><br />Not only are leftists NOT progressive, they are NOT liberals, either. Not in the classical sense. Liberalism generally emphasizes liberty, individualism, and support for limited constitutional government. Please tell me what part of that is supported by today's self-described liberals. Certainly not individualism or support for a limited government. As for 'liberty,' leftists merely confuse that with self-indulgence. And if anyone tells me that modern liberals (leftists, by any other name) adhere to the famous, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," I will not hesitate to call him/her a shameless liar.<br /><br />So I am not surprised that this Phil Collins thinks he does such a service to Manchester by unloading a piece of junky Communism memorabilia on the city. Deep down inside, every lefty sighs nostalgically for Soviet-style communism. But no matter how often the left "reinvents" socialism to make it sound "progressive," the truth is that leftism is a decrepit, historically-proven failed ideology. A Tyranny that seeks total control by depriving citizens of even the most basic civil liberty, and by crushing dissent and destroying dissenters.<br /><br />That is why I will always refuse to call these leftists "progressives" or "liberals." They are neither.Clorindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270260590673301947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-43717500614819856142017-07-29T02:28:20.149-04:002017-07-29T02:28:20.149-04:00I posted elsewhere thanking you for this superb ar...I posted elsewhere thanking you for this superb article. One tangent that occurred to me, Europe is a good case study for the possible future clash of the left and radical Islam.<br /><br />In Latin America, it might be possible for the left to win, for example ruthless regimes like Cuba might be able to defeat Islam. Still, a horrifying prospect to contemplate.<br /><br />Islam is trying to make inroads into Venezuela, but they still seem to be too weak, demographically.<br /><br />In Western Europe, the left seems to be just surrendering without a fight.Infidelnoreply@blogger.com
