Kenin M. Spivak: The Marxist Wing of the Democratic Party and the Destruction of the West

Something that sounded like wingnut insanity a decade or so ago...but now, I think, is rather difficult to deny.

   To repeat myself repeating myself: obviously your average Democrat does not want the destruction of the West. Not even close. On the other hand, the radical/Marxist wing of the left has always wanted that--and always been the most significant sub-sector of the radical left. Marxism in some version or other pervades the left. And the radicalization of the American left meant, basically, that the ideas of the fringe permeated farther into the heart of the faction. A very large percentage of American progressives now accept at least a few radical ideas--and many of them accept many of them. This is difficult to deny. This is a party that generally accepts the idea that men can be women, kids can choose which they are, and can be medically "transitioned"--i.e. sexually mutilated. In general, the party supports DEI, which is a catspaw for implementing the whole package of left-wing ideas, including racial preferences in hiring and mandatory indoctrination sessions. Over the past decade, the left overall has simply become radical. Socialism, destructive as it is, may be one of its less destructive new doctrines...

   And: the radical left has never made any bones about wanting to bring down the West (and capitalism, and liberalism). The far left is entirely open about that. Many less-overtly-radical types are not open about it. And many even less radical types don't even want it...not exactly anyway. Anti-Western ideas are packaged as "social justice" for their consumption. Mass unregulated immigration, for example--a well-known weapon of cultural and political destruction--is characterized as kindness and "equity." Those who accept the means without understanding the end are Lenin's useful idiots...

   Anyway.

   You've heard it all before.
