TCMS#4 "LEFTISM (part 2 of 4): Leftist Flawed Thinking"

Leftist Flawed ThinkingShow more

The most consequential flaw in the leftist paradigm is that it implies that its definitions of utopia, morality, ignorance, and scientific knowledge are self-evident and beyond question. This shortcoming is simply proven by asking a leftist, “What is the theoretical evidence that would disprove your belief?” A conservative not only can easily answer this, but he continually challenges himself with such validating questions. Behold a simple conservative answer, “I would change my politics if you could disprove that man’s essential nature is flawed, that small government is best, that society must preserve inalienable individual rights.” Leftist has no such answers because their politics prove unsound because they originate from a non-real universe grounded in emotional physics.

Leftist ideological failure is further exposed by comparing the basic political strategies of both the right and left. The right cultivates morality through rational compassion. The right cultivates societal wellbeing through teaching authentic history, economics, and the wisdom of tradition. The left is unable to adopt this strategy because authentic history, economics, and tradition directly antagonize their utopian aspirations. Because they have no choice they cultivate not societal wellbeing, but power through all methods possible. As Orwell stated, "Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." Thus, over so many decades leftists have mastered many strategies and tactics for the direct acquisition of power. Their most celebrated instruction manual is Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” Of course all the while leftists believe they are doing good despite all logic and direct evidence proving otherwise. To again quote Orwell, "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."

Thus there is virtually nothing that will change leftist minds, and that is the crux of the problem— it is impossible to reveal to leftists actual reality.

Additionally, leftists are stunted by their ill certainty that their virtue is superior to that of the right. The right has no such binding as it freely submits that anyone may possess healthy virtue. Because the right champions what does good which often does not feel good, the left cannot comprehend let alone admit rightist methodology could be moral because it would imply the suicidal negation of the emotional physics of their universe. A perfect example of this dynamic manifests during a debate on morality when a leftist says, “You’re from another planet.” He is metaphorically correct. Rightists and leftists truly live in psychologically separate universes with different fundamental physics.

To defend 2+2=7 leftists mainly employ epistemological relativism grounded in their delusional emotional universe which remains perfectly shielded by their impenetrable egos. They attest that all knowledge is relative, specifically the morality of right and wrong; thus, as they see fit they label evil the victim of good. Such thinking is illustrated in venerated Marxist Max Horkheimer’s proud clinically

insane statement "Logic is not independent of content." Any sane high school student can appreciate that a=a regardless of the contents of “a,” yet obvious refutations such as this are uniformly suppressed by the left. Today at most every Western university you can witness this mental illness within tenured Marxist professors by challenging them with such refutations. You can then appeal to their department heads to again witness the illness. These people are no less than clinically insane; and thus, it is impossible for them to retain a healthy conception of morality– they may truly believe anything, such as moral innocence in wanton mass rape and murder.

The left’s emotional universe inexorably subscribes them to the dogma of ends justifying means because, unlike the right, the left has no moral paradigm to deter them. Their morality is the result of childish goals of preserved feelings, short term peace, and long term utopia. Because logic and reality antagonize leftist ends, the leftist need to construct successful political paradigms is not a passion, but a contemptible chore. This is why leftist arguments are so flimsy. Leftists not only suffer a deficit in logical aptitude, but their arguments are irrelevant to the leftists themselves. Typically, truth is that which must be overcome in any way possible. This can be witnessed daily in leftist newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and websites such as HuffingtonPost.com.
