World socialism as a whole, and all the figures associated with it, are shrouded in legend; its contradictions are forgotten or concealed; it does not respond to arguments but continually ignores them—all this stems from the mist of irrationality that surrounds socialism and from its instinctive aversion to scientific analysis… The doctrines of socialism seethe with contradictions, its theories are at constant odds with its practice, yet due to a powerful instinct these contradictions do not in the least hinder the unending propaganda of socialism. Indeed, no precise, distinct socialism even exists; instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something noble and good, of equality, communal ownership, and justice: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach.

Two stories, brought up by Darleen Click in a post today over at Protein Wisdom, are the fuel of the following thoughts.
Please do click here first and read Darleen’s post, especially her analysis.
Too often people on the Right complain of just how ruthless the Left is and I don’t think many of those on our side understand just how far the Leftists are willing to really go to achieve their ends.
The truth is, the Left will do absolutely whatever it takes to bring about Utopia because, dammit, it will be so groovy, so outta-sight, so ‘heavenly’ — an endless and repeating disembarkation on The Deathless Shore Of Nirvana.
The Left does not feel restrained by any code or ethics or morals because they have rejected both, which they see in their funhouse-mirror view of the world as impeding the ability of all to be as gods.
They will stop at nothing to reach the future, even if it means destroying the past and the present.
Now, there’s something else at work here besides a simple quest for Power and Control.
At the same time Leftists are seeking this, they also believe that they are ‘doing the right thing’. In the case of the tearing down of people such as Norman Rockwell and the branding of that six year old boy with a scarlet S.O., the True Believers on the Left actually think that Society will be helped by these actions. They are Do-Gooders who have willfully blinded themselves to the consequences of the effects of their actions on people, on the Human Soul, because they believe that ideas [Ideologies] are more important than any flesh and blood person.
Only a mentally sick mind, a deeply troubled soul could so turn it’s back on the whole of Human Life.
In our war against the Ideologues, we are up against people who are mentally ill and, therefore, it is a waste of time to try and reason with them. They have turned their backs on sanity and are determined to pursue their perverted ends, no matter the cost, especially in Human lives.
Any compromise with them will only damage our cause [Normality] because, as is the nature of compromise, each side gains something in the deal. And every time the Left gains something, no matter how small [such as, say, branding a six year old on his official record-for-life as a Sex Offender], we, the forces of Sanity, of Good, lose.
The Left must be neutralized, denied any influence over Society, because they are Anti-Life — their way is the road to perdition…a highway to Hell paved with misery and death.
Wake up and smell the Nihilism.
Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon… He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that – do not listen.
