The Communist Left

[AuH2O]

Democrats tend not to be religious because Jesus hated hypocrites more than the gravest sinners.

Communism is simply the implementation of a mental illness known as Marxism; the term itself is somewhat difficult to pin down since Marx himself declared "I am not a Marxist." Likewise he admitted Das Kapital was "pure excretement" even after revising it many, many times.

Historically, Communism has been used simply for it's sometimes appealing propaganda value; the very idea of Communism is so laughable that no society has come particularly close. Even paying it lip service, however, often proves to be very damaging, costing tens of millions of lives.

Many on the far left are not technically "Communists," at least they will not admit to it, but the same irrationality affects their judgement equally. It is based around the idea ideology outweights fact, in that the ends justify the means and the ends of Communism require deceit and violence.

That those ends are still unachievable makes it even worse, but such is evident empirically.

I actually am not sure deconstructing Marx (primarily as an athiest Jew, since no other element of his background lends itself to useful analysis) is of real worth. There are still people that believe the earth is flat; Communists are more numerous and more dangerous, but nonetheless are equally immune to reason.

There remain disturbing indications the American Left is infected with Communist thought; the pro-Soviet positions of many members of the Democratic Party concerned many Americans, though attempts to rectify the matter were prevented by the leftist media and the leftist government bureacracy.
