Why?<\/p>\n

In my book I create a Left\/Right political spectrum of liberty on the Right and Statism on the Left.\u00a0 Thus the National Socialist Nazis are hard Left.\u00a0 Others have contrasted it as Individual\/Collective.<\/p>\n

We observe throughout history that the Left eats itself.\u00a0 How do you explain that?<\/p>\n

First, consider that the left is Statist and Collectivist.\u00a0 Who are the type that are attracted to this world view?\u00a0 Consider one of the flaws we observe in the US government is that a Donald Trump is extremely rare.\u00a0 Getting to the point, successful people don’t want to go into government.\u00a0\u00a0 They’d rather be producers and creators in the private sector.\u00a0 The losers end up in the government and over time the country degenerates.<\/p>\n

This then is a key feature of the Left.\u00a0 They are losers and parasites, haters and worshipers of death.\u00a0 What do these people have in their life?\u00a0 The only thing they have is the Party, and the society, circle of friends, that surrounds that.\u00a0 Threaten that, and you threaten everything they have.<\/p>\n

Second, the Left rests on shifting sands.\u00a0 We can look at the spectrum of politics through another lense: reason vs. emotion.\u00a0 The Right stands on first principles, logic, and reason.\u00a0 The Left stands on emotions — how does it make you feel?\u00a0 (This by the way is why I support a Constitutional Aristocratic Republic, where the aristocracy is defined as married men.)\u00a0 The bottom line is that the policies of the Left are always changing depending on what people are emotional about at the time.<\/p>\n

Put together, and the denizens of the Left must always feel a bit paranoid that they will lose everything.\u00a0 They are always checking in on what they are SUPPOSED to feel and say.\u00a0 If someone in their ranks gets it wrong, their fellow comrades will immediately attack them as a defensive scape goat.\u00a0 It is likely that their closest friends will\u00a0 denounce them the loudest.<\/p>\n
