It is amazing to me how people who worry about polar bears and puppies and little kittens–all carnivores, by the way, whose natural destiny is to eat other, smaller animals–are unwilling to learn basic facts about world history. They know all about our treatment of the American Indians–which in a historical context was actually not that bad, since we didn’t massacre many of them–but refuse to learn about basic items like the history of the nightmare of global Communism. To hear some people, it was always a fairy tale.
It was not a fairy tale, and IS not a fairy tale, for those unfortunate souls locked in literal and figurative prisons by people who are INSANE. Communism is a doctrine of LUNACY. It is pure evil, and I mean that in the most clinical way possible, in that I believe it is a doctrine that has as it PRIMARY purpose inflicting pain on people, and whose adherents enjoy hating, as one Wisconin TEACHER recently put it, because it makes her feel good
This is the absolute truth. When you dig down, hard core leftists have as their main purpose the HATRED of whoever the current target is–bourgeoisie, polluters, racists, Republican Governors–and NOT, as they continually allege, the rectification of wrongs, the imposition of justice where it had been lacking.
On the contrary, one sees a trail of blood, pain, and death wherever they go. I first argued that case in the paper to which this title refers, that I republished on my other site:
The Vietnam War and Cultural Sadeism.
In particular, if you want a better understanding of why I use the term Cultural Sadeism, this paper shows the train of thought. This was in many ways a thought experiment, but one which I think was successful, and foundational to much of my later thinking.
