Win or lose, fans of the Philly Eagles go out into the street and smash things. Whoever wins on Election Day, leftists will smash things. The election only determines whether they smash up the country from the inside or the outside. Forget all the theory and all the empty policy promises.
It’s not about equity, democracy, free college, funding terrorists, defunding the police, breaking the glass ceiling, or any of the other suits the naked emperors and empresses wear. When the champagne corks and pills have been popped, the desire underneath is to destroy it all.
Mediocre elites created leftism by sublimating their narcissistic drive to destroy everything superior to them into the revolutionary politics of a purported underclass. But the elites are the oppressed underclass they’ve been waiting for. They fight for their own right to seize power.
And they don’t stop fighting once they get it.
Stop by a leftist rally and you’ll rarely find anyone who ever worked for a living or intends to. The Biden-Harris admin was hobbled by the sheer inability of anyone involved in it to understand kitchen table economics as anything other than a longread thinkpiece about shrinkflation.
Leftists care as much about the working class as you do about the plight of the Tibetans. Probably less. Workers, women, coal miners, the unemployed on bread lines, Gazans, gays, lesbians, transgenders and every letter in the endless LGBTQ alphabet have never been anything other than excuses for smashing things. They’re the wife, girlfriend, uncle or nephew that our hero loses in the first act to justify his bloody rampages in the next two acts.
American leftists are still Americans. And they need to believe they’re the good guys. Unlike Bolsheviks, Maoists and ISIS, they need a bigger buildup to their hero’s journey. They need JFK and MLK to take a bullet, they need Vietnam, Kent State, AIDS, Reaganomics, impeachment, hanging chads and the Iraq War to tell a story to themselves about why they turned to violence.
Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Trump and capitalism killed their idealism in the first act. Now they have permission to plant bombs at dances for service members, rob Brink’s trucks, and riot and burn. But they’re not doing it for themselves, oh no, but for all the oppressed workers and peasants, kids laboring in factories, soldiers on the front lines and trans kids who need puberty blockers.
“It’s just this war and that lying son of a bitch, Johnson!” is a short history of leftist activism.
Working backwards, they claim that Muslim terrorists kill kids because they’ve been so wronged. It’s an alibi that tells us more about leftists than about whatever politically aligned horror show they’re trying to excuse this week. No matter what comic books and Mother Jones will tell you, oppression doesn’t make good people turn evil. Evil people blame their crimes on oppression.
The Nazis believed they were oppressed. The Communists believed they were oppressed. ISIS Jihadists raping children and beheading non-Muslims believed they were the real victims.
Scratch a member of the professionally oppressed and you find a monster working on the backstory for the crimes he intends to commit as soon as he finds a gun or a movement.
Amateur victims become school shooters, filling their diaries with tales of being bullied so they can build up the verve to shoot a bunch of little kids cowering in front of their blue lockers. Professional victims become activists and community organizers so they can do the same thing. They just have a longer wait time which they fill with self-care and race riots before the killing.
Leftist politics is a permission structure for evil. Its activism on the outside and its policies on the inside are designed to destroy everything under the guise of saving it. Tepid leftism ushers in decline, outsourcing the actual destruction to the hordes of invading enemy migrants, while committed leftism leads to gulags, mass famines and Asian museums filled with skulls.
Destruction is the conscious theme of the truly committed leftist and the subconscious impulse of the tepid leftist. Any leftist not driven by a conscious or subconscious urge to destroy will sooner or later fall out of the movement. Those who go on reciting the mantras are either cowards or terrorists. And the cowards are those who want someone else to do the killing.
Working from outside the system, leftists lie, subvert, incite, riot, burn and bomb. Working from the inside, they build massive political machines whose purpose is to wreck everything. The carnage is not ‘creative destruction” and it’s not an unintended consequence of a noble idealistic dream of a better country and an equal society, but the entire point of the whole project.
The Left does not have a plan for a better world, but for destroying the world. Its theories are sucker bait, its issues are recruitment fodder for fifth columns and their implementation serves no purpose except to seize money and power while ruining everything and fueling outrage.
Outrage, more nakedly rage, is the dark beating heart of the beast. Everything else is ad copy. Rage is the morals, ethics, ideology, father and mother of the movement. Rage is the currency which it trades in for more rage. “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention”, its bumper stickers scream, and once you start paying attention, the rage never ends.
Leftists are indoctrinated in outrage, radicalized into rage and ricochet from outrage to outrage to rage against. No matter how old and bourgeois they get, rage keeps them feeling like young rebels, and they hunt and peck between New York Times, Washington Post and Rolling Stone screeds revealing the exciting new outrage that requires innovative new abuses of power.
Robbed of rage, leftists are reduced to a planetary HR department given free reign to ban everything and fail ever upward even as their fiefdoms descend into extremes of misery. In triumph, the mediocre elites expose their mediocrity for all to see. That’s why they can’t stop the rage for even one moment lest everyone see that underneath the virtue signaling uniforms and jackboots is a Biden or Brezhnev incapable of running anything including their bodily functions.
And that is the reckoning that the mediocre elites have been running away from all their lives.
Leftists must destroy because they cannot create. Inside their heads is a little lurking voice telling them how worthless they are every second of the day. Imagine if Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro or AOC had been forced to get actual jobs outside political leftism?
What do objectively worthless narcissists convinced of their own genius do with their lives?
They become commandantes, chairmen, congressmen and other things beginning with ‘C’. Being a revolutionary, an activist or a professional troublemaker requires a very different set of skills than actually working for a living and is a perfect fit for egomaniacs furious at every perceived slight with a knack for getting other people to die for their delusions of grandeur.
Add on a slick patina of ‘theory’ of fantasy economics and academic conspiracy theories and you have the movement that has spent the past two centuries trying to destroy the world.
Whatever happens on this Election Day or in any election, the Left is waiting to destroy it all.
“What do objectively worthless narcissists convinced of their own genius do with their lives?”
Well, Heels up Harris has never had a real job so I guess we know the answer to that one. And she isn’t even good at whoring, which is all she knows. I mean, “Downtown” Willie Brown? How ugly is that guy? He looks like a geriatric Eric Adams with a “slap this Groid” sign on his nasty bald head.
Maybe she could get a “job” as a lifeguard and let prepubescent kids play with her leg hair.
Reminded me of the constructive brain vs the destructive brain. The constructive brain is rare and a lot of hard work is required to build. The left caters to the destructive brain which is very common and liable to wreck everything that has been built.
Yes, it’s much easier to tear things down than build them, right? And retards will always be retarded,.
Exactly, thanks Jeff !!!!!
Ask our rezidentura atheist, pro-abortion Objectivist scrooge THX that question. He has always been convinced of his own intellectual superiority while looking down on everything and everyone around him.
I wonder if he ever gets laid?
My guess is no. Probably too old and cranky
Hush child!
The great Leonard Peikoff speaks! Hush and listen!
“A Conversation with Leonard Peikoff About the US Presidential Election”
Whoop there ‘it’ is!!!
W⚓!!
Not Leonerd Jackoff again. He’s even more boring and inconsequential than Anus Rand.
““What do objectively worthless narcissists convinced of their own genius do with their lives?”
Two words: mooch and freeload. It’s the basis upon which the democrat party is built on.
A proven democrat proverb: “My money is my money, your money is our money. My stuff is my stuff, your stuff is our stuff.”
Great column. Marx’s favorite line in literature was from Goethe’s “Faust” where Mephistopheles says, “All that exists deserves to perish.”. Marxism, and most Leftism is purely destructionist. To quote Alfred to Batman, ” Some people just like to see the world burn.” That’s them.
Brilliant article, thanks Daniel !!!!!
Yet again, Daniel mixes brilliant analysis with a writing style that is very close to poetry.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Wow! This was like jumping into your head on a crisp, early morning run. Get out of this man’s way…the truth-teller is coming!
Thank you!
If their going to behave like Wild Beasts its time to strand them in the Wilderness or the South American Rain Forests/Jungle and so they can learn a lesson of what its like without their Sheltered Life
That’s like asking the UN to open an office in a third world country, ain’t never gonna happen.
“Imagine if Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro or AOC had been forced to get actual jobs”
Therein lies the problem, there are no jobs everything has been shipped to China.
Until we bring them back the elites have nothing to do but invent nonsense theories in university.
They’d all whine and lament the fact that they had to suffer the indignity of having to get a real job.
So Marx, Lenin and Trotsky walk into a bar. Marx argues the punchline is inevitable. Lenin has a five-year plan. Trotsky flirts with a woman.
What drink did Trotsky order? A screwdriver? 😛
So is the war to save America from ultra-left Kamala Harris then a
spiritual one? She does embody all the attributes of the Left
described herein – proven by just looking around America after
only four years under her and Biden’s watch: Great cities and
communities destroyed by homelessness, illegal immigrants and
fentanyl. Out of control crime everywhere and Americans
struggling just to survive. Plus a terrifying two-tiered system of
justice shoved down our throats – knowing we could never
afford to fight it the way our embattled leader Trump does and
that the unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment given
to unindicted J6 defendants could easily happen to us.
Let’s face it. The Left is Mankind at it basest – at its explosive
angriest – its greediest and most lustful – at its laziest. It is after
all so much easier to destroy than to build – to tear it all down
than to work hard and be disciplined.
God has designed each of us to learn how to get out of our own
way – to conquer those Left proclivities within ourselves to be
better mothers and fathers and spouses, neighbors and colleagues.
To acquire spiritual wisdom on our journey through life or in the
words of the most spiritual sage Jesus, to learn to love one another.
Another name for the Left is Evil and we are indeed in the battle
of our lives for America’s soul. Our foe is Kamala Harris and her ilk
on the Left. As one nation under God, we must stand together
enmasse on Election Day and tell Kamala to go to Hell.
TRUMP OR TYRANNY! 2024
Annie45:
At best Harris is an empty vessel. In fact, more empty than Joe Biden. That is her real utility to the left. For them, Harris would be the personification of the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy and Santa Claus all rolled into one. Harris would obediently do her level best to grant their every wish and make all their dreams come true.
By the way: As a native Californian who still lives in this sh*t hole state and have heard and known about Kamala since the late 1990s, I can say with confidence that she has no core values or principles. Money, power and social status are what matters to her. To her and her ilk, values and core principles are impediment to achieving those things.
It is written (somewhere!) that if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. That is the essence of who and what Kamala is. An empty vessel.
“mediocre elites” to “jealous mediocre elites” Ostracized at puberty and they never forget it.
Madame DeFarge:
“Ostracized at puberty and they never forget it.”
I think that indirectly, what your comment implies could be called “Peter Pan syndrome.” A common affliction amongst liberals. Their brains never fully develop thus they’re stuck in the puberty stage.. Moreover, they’re so open minded that their brains fall out of their heads half of the time and thus the effects of the accumulated damage over time begins to show right around age 40 or younger.
The young can be forgiven for being liberal but a person past the age of 30 who is still a liberal is an empty headed callow fool who refuses to grow up..And that’s a “gracious” assessment of them
No!! ……….Leftists, not Liberals!
In today’s America, they’re one in the same. To be fair though, there’s a distinction between a classic liberal versus a neo-liberal, aka, progressive. The latter two are instinctively Marxist in ideology were as the former is a liberal in the original, aka classic, sense of the term liberal.
A classic liberal is more logical and rational and open to debating their stance on the issues. The same cannot be said of today’s liberals or neo-liberals as I like to call them. A classic liberal has virtually nothing in common with a neo-liberal/progressive.
Bravo Daniel! This might be the very best synopsis of the Leftist mindset and psychology I’ve ever read! I’m saving it to disk 🙂
We are living through Judicial Tyranny.
The judges cover for the leftist criminals, call off the LEOs and prosecute to the fullest extent any people opposed to their agenda.
Furthermore, the full weight of the DOJ will be turned against allowing DJT to be inaugurated.
This election will once again be decided by the Supreme Court.
2020 was not allowed to go to the SCOTUS and 2024 won’t eother!
Ya, the Deep State has it dialed in now.
Remember this…before Joe was senile.
Joe Biden brags about having the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in history.
Slightly off topic but it’s an important matter worth mentioning: We also live in a pharmaceutical industry/ medical tyranny.. The biggest threat to them is a healthy and fit person. Why? Because their is no profit to be made off a healthy and fit person.
Proof? Look at all the pharmaceutical products commercials on TV. And why do you suppose that around this time of year every year, you see medicare ads on TV? And the keep the pharmaceutical & medical industry supplied with customers look at all the fast food ads on TV.
They know that ultra-processed foods will slowly, silently and certainly make you sick and eventually kill and the have the scientific studies/evidence that proves it beyond any shadow of a doubt. Studies that the both and the food industries bribe the government and the media to suppress.
But no one see that as an insidious threat until they’re laying on their death beds dying of some preventable disease they could have avoided if they only knew the truth. The truth being that most diseases are self inflicted. (e.g, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.)
“Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill”– Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” Act 3, Scene 2.
WHO’S THAT WEIRDO at the Albuquerque Rally yesterday? It’s like he sat there to be a Camera Hog for maximum exposure to show off his “HISPANICS (HEART) TRUMP” t-shirt. (He is kinda handsome… I must say.)
Oh you ham! It took until near the end to see you stand up and show that shirt.
Spot on, kemosabe
More destruction, just like 2020.
Voting Machine ‘Glitch’ Flipping Trump Votes to Kamala Harris in Kentucky

Too easy to cheat with machines. Got to go back to paper ballots only.
And abolish postal voting and early voting.
My guess is no. Probably too old and cranky
Rhett Butler said there is money to be made in building a society. There is also money to be made in the destruction of a society. He chose to make his money in the destruction. Human nature has not changed.
Loosely described, Marxism is the destruction of the “administrative state” after which the capitalist, corporate structure it taken apart and distributed among the “workers”. According to Marx, the true nature of man is the desire to live in communal bliss where everyone shares, equally, in the necessities of society. And we all live happily ever after.
The leftist loons that have fallen for this ideology are up and ready to engage in the pre-requisite destruction but if you ask one of them to give over their Earthly possessions to someone less fortunate you’ll get a big, fat NO from them. They will tell you that’s the govt’s job. The same govt they are trying to destroy in their quest for “equity”. As Mr. Greenfield stated, their objective isn’t a new way of doing things, it’s simple the lust to destroy. They don’t have a care in the world about what comes after that.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution states that a well-regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state.
“Scratch a member of the professionally oppressed and you find a monster working on the backstory for the crimes he intends to commit as soon as he finds a gun or a movement.”
This is one of the most brilliant lines I have ever read. Pithy, with style and substance. Bravo!
Dennis Prager recently noted that while we know the Dems spoil everything they touch they have done a real number on our once precious election day. When we had voting at the polls unless you got an absentee ballot for a valid reason, we all voted at the same place on the same day. And when we used paper ballots we knew late that night who the winners were. Today our voting process is chaotic and a once enjoyable American custom/institution has been made unrecognizable.
Amazon Alexa answers very differently when asked for reasons to vote for Trump or Harris

Why would anybody have that leftist spy in their home?
The 2020 election was not allowed to go to the SCOTUS and 2024 won’t eother!

I remember this from a poli sci class I took before the Academy was taken over by leftists:
“People don’t seize power in order to start a revolution, they start a revolution in order to seize power”. Revolutionary “ideals” are a ruse to help them overthrow the existing order so they can control everything.
:
“Build back better.”
First, you must destroy a Republic, Democracy, or whatever, before you can construct your dystopia.
Yes, ultimately it’s about control of everything and everyone.
….as evidenced by how low the Dem campaign apparatus has gone to win/steal this election.
Not all the jobs have been off-shored. The service industry is one of the ones that can’t be off-shored, nor the construction industry. Still, a lot of professional jobs are gone.
One more thought. If I remember correctly, AOC was a bar maid before she got elected to Congress. Would that she’d been off-shored!.
Good piece. I really love this line: Leftists must destroy because they cannot create. Truly says it all about the zombies.
