The rhetoric of uprising, resistance, and revolution has been endowed upon all causes by the resurgence of socialism. “Like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children,” and so socialists need many allies. This is precisely why the enthusiastic young folks with purple hair, who initially mean no harm and whose main fault is a complete lack of critical thinking, will be the first to be thrown overboard by the revolution, like unnecessary ballast.
- that is the best paragraph I have read in a long time!
The enemy has existed since the Bolshevik revolution. It's the Islamo/Leftist alliance. Two very different ideologies with a common goal: to destroy every Western democracy. It has taken different forms over the years but one thing is certain: if they win, G-d forbid, they will inevitably go to war with each other since each wants to rule the world; leaving only rubble in their wake. Which is why Marxism and Islamism must be purged from our midst while there is still time. Read : https://providencemag.com/2023/11/the-new-red-green-alliance-1/
'Me thinks they do Protest too Much!' Queen Gertrude in Hamlet, Shakespeare: Specifically here, the Shrill Shame of Cognitive Dissonance in the Hypocrite.
If you ever wondered why libellous and vicious Hate is levelled against Jews, then look no closer than the Psychology of the Conflicted Liberal. This is a classic case of what Psychoanalysts call Projection, that is to say, blaming bad characteristics which are true for yourself on others in the Out Group.
Anti-Semitism from Academics, and by people like Waters and Loach and The National Teachers Union the NEU here in The UK and their support for Palestinians, and the Middle Class Communists, is a cover for deeper and profoundly-held racism against all the other groups too, including the Black and Asian communities.
Yes, indeed we do not hear the same people condemn The Syrian civil War or Iran's Capital Punishment and Judicial killings, or Turkey's treatment of The Kurds.
Press them too on uncontrolled Migration across Israel, the only Land Bridge into Europe.
So we hear the Shrill Shame of Cognitive Dissonance, which is the real reason for their vitriolic Hatred, as their heads try to hold onto Liberal values whilst understanding tough border control and a strong State means safety in a Europe protected from Mass Migration, by Israel. Thus Jews become the scapegoats for these contradicted and Racist sentiments in Liberals, once again.
Yes indeed, we know this Enemy and its shrill Hate Speech very well. It is Hypocrisy.
Good post.How many times do we need to see the same movie? This history is well documented. The MSM will not expose the Commie-Islamist connection because now they are all in with the Left and they take their orders from corporations that kowtow to the Left.
I do think however that not enough public emphasis has been placed on the allegiance of social justice warriors with Communist and totalitarian states. Not only in the case of the Palestinian murderers, but also with BLM, and many other groups. They are funded and trained by hardcore Communists (CCP). The public should be alerted to this fact. It puts the activity in a different light, as if it’s not evil enough already. The people joining these groups however are not just innocent fools. And they shouldn’t be given a pass.
I agree, there is not enough emphasis on this. For example, here in Canada, the unions have so much power and they openly support the socialists movement. It is mind boggling how we've all seen socialism fail time and time again, but people insist on trying it some more.
It never works and it’s never going to work. Marx got very vague about how all this commie stuff magically congeals into a utopia because he knew it would never happen. It’s a destructive shell game for malcontents. That’s not to dismiss legitimate grievances. People have a right to advocate for what they believe is right. But that’s not what this is. This, like almost every initiative from the Left is a cynical attempt at deconstructing society and subverting the power structure. The problem with the power structure from their perspective is that they want 100% control forever. They don’t care about dead Arabs. They certainly are in favor of dead Jews. The useful idiots at the universities are guilty of not being able to actually evaluate any idea critically.These are not students. They are intellectual and cultural zombies, easy to manipulate by their manque revolutionary professoriat. They are completely ungrounded in the value of Western civilization. They seek to destroy the very thing that makes their cushy existence possible. And nobody in power wants to break the bad news and burst their little bubble. Because that’s not PC. So it will take something more definitive to wake them up.
They just want to see Israel destroyed. After that they will go for each other’s throats. Well, too bad, Israel will survive long after these fools are gone.
This is good. Another parallel factor in the resurgence of Marxism was the adoption of Gramsci and the "critical" school in the academic world, which extends the struggle to the cultural and ideological spheres.
Why do we continue to use the word leftist? Is this another way that people, political parties, countries, media, make words like socialism, leftist, make the word Communist palatable? I use these terms less and less , and prefer to use the word Communist. I might be alone with my stance in using that word, but when you see the Pro Pals, The Professors and their deluded minions, the Democratic party, The Republicans spouting Putin talking points.
Have the Democratic nations of the world been asleep at the wheel, for the last thirty years? So smug, so self assured in thinking that the world would follow our norms, our laws, our values?
Especially in Canada, where our so called " niceness" means nothing but viewed as weakness.
Could we not see how we have had everything that Canadians died for, and believed in thrown into the shredders.
In closing in began this comment, rant, whatever you would like to call it with words and how they camouflage their real meaning.
Sort of like I'm not an antisemite im only Anti Zionist.
To be honest, in today's realities I use "leftist", "communist", "socialist", and "marxist" interchangeably. I don't know if they themselves understand the nuanced differences, but in my perspective all of them represent the same evil. In the same manner, I use "antisemite" and "antizionist" interchangeably, because the nuances don't matter, they are the same. And yes, it is painful to watch the Democratic nations not defend their values any more.
Probably at the BLM Mansion. You know the one they purchased from Canadas Communist party after George Floyd died of cardiac failure due to fentanyl and BLM burned cities across America. Their marketing activism netted millions from Nike, Coke, and other big business. Wonder what happened to all of the money???
They never achieve anything good, but so far communists ruined the lives of generations and generations of people in Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, etc...
I wrote a Comment and Thank you June 22 regarding your essay about the burnt door etc. Thank you again. This essay today is of the most stunning essays on 'the situation'. It ties in so many points, perhaps half of which I knew in a vague way, and provides the reader with a unity and a lightness in the writing style that may somehow help to make us ready to 'fight on' through today, another week, another year or whatever it takes for us to collectively find our 'others in arms'. I'm 72. I won't bore you with a life well lived and that still is so. But I am VERY happy having found Joshua Hoffman's Future of Jewish; and his Guest Writers etc. I also am a big fan of The Management of Reality substack of Prof. Francisco Gil-White who is doing some of the most remarkable research into the global nature of the gifts of the Jewish People and related topics. I've been casually researching my 3rd non-fiction and semi-biographic book with this one about my "Jewish encounters". This one is long, slow, meandering. Now I'd like to share or bring up a taboo topic amongst numerous Jewish activists, writers, etc. 'jewish' can mean a 1000 different things. None the less, in 2012 I began to say/write "Denialism is the new religion (sic)" (2012). I know I'm hopping along in this Comment. You wrote "Justice is a very powerful word". As a very later learner - who now does a bit of Shachrit every morning and a few other bits every day of Torah study... I'd like to mention, and - you may know drastically more about what I'm going to quote than I know - but here goes. In the 'prayer' that some call "The Prayer" that is titled "Amidah" (standing prayer) and also known as Shemoneh Esrei - '18' (as there were 18 blessings, but a significant one was added so there are 19 blessings). The 11th idea/point/blessing is about Justice. So that neither you nor any reader needs to look it up here is an authentic English translation of #11. "Restore our Judges as in earliest times and our advisors as at first;..." It succinctly then petitions for righteous "Judgement". Justice and Judgement as moral and ethical practice are essential to Judaism, to the Jewish People, to most Jewish individuals - and - importantly - is one of the central gifts the Jewish Culture has given to the world. Of course the irony is that our Culture's most profound wisdom regarding Justice was in part misaligned by even our own 'activists' at least by the middle 1800s. In conclusion, I see that one of the most important methods to reverse the extreme situations is in part in 'Jewish hands'. In that I do think we have an unusual 'superpower' - somehow. But it requires 'blessing' #4 "Insight" and #5 "Repentance" - which specifically means a return to Torah. Torah is not only a book but is an idea involving 'thought, speech, and action'. It IS a form of activism to make the world a better place for everyone. It is an ancient wisdom source. But one that requires a deep earnest form of study and practices. In truth one may practice by writing and communicating as "A Way". But I dare say as a VERY late learner (a novice) there is a part that every person and every group has to play. But in this Time the 'play' is serious. Finally, thank you for your writing and now I must read it at least two more times as it is awesome. Regards.

Once the revolution wins, the winners start looking for traitors from within. For example, after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, most of the initial revolution leaders were killed or executed, Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev, and many others, and then there were several more rounds of repressions against newer generation of communist officials.
The Left is renown for turning on its own for convenience. Suggest you read "Radical Son" by David Horowitz. An amazing memoir about a born-and-bred Jewish communist who finally woke up.

There are three expressions of Socialism in the world today: Communism, Islamism, and Globalism. We have been infiltrated by all three.
Fortunately the lefties never achieve anything… oh mistake…they’ll bring Trump and Le Pen because average joe hates their violence
They never achieve anything good, but so far communists ruined the lives of generations and generations of people in Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, etc...
Let's hope!
