LEFTISM

—“Leftism — An ideology that seeks to tear down meritocracy, exceptionalism and traditional structures so that the lowest common denominator can satiate their feelings of envy and status seeking via pathological altruism using other people’s wealth. (Leftism is an attempt to obtain status without contribution.) A capitalist, leftist society primarily legitimizes accomplishment in only a couple domains — money and hedonism — at the expense of all higher values, including long-term social stability.”—

—“Instead of encouraging individual accomplishment, Leftism is driven by a “leveling dynamic” summarized by the pithy slogan “everyone gets a trophy”. Social “progress” is defined in terms of maximizing short-term individual hedonism at the expense of general social health. Promoting an “anything goes” values, the end result is a cloud of largely indistinguishable, atomized individuals, rather than anything resembling social coherence or strength. “Culture” is seen as a fluid construct, to be thrown out casually and replaced with a new alternative at the slightest whim. Moral and cultural relativism reigns. No system can be seen as better than any other, lest the proponents of the inferior system take offense.”— by Michael Anissimov
