All the time and everywhere – they always do it exactly the same way. An example here in an article about Margaret Sanger and Stalin’s Russia – from Life News:
Sanger, Planned Parenthood matron and racial-eugenicist, who ran a “Negro Project,” who spoke to a KKK rally in 1926, who wished to rid America of its “human weeds” and “morons” and “imbeciles,” and who wanted birth control for “race improvement,” had just returned from a pilgrimage to Stalin’s Russia. Like many Potemkin progressives, she went there to soak in the glorious triumphs of the communist motherland. Each progressive dupe had a particular interest; John Dewey, for instance, hailed the Bolsheviks’ “Great Experiment” in public education. Sanger marveled at Lenin’s and Stalin’s wondrous advancements for women.
And so, in the June 1935 edition of her flagship publication, Birth Control Review, in an article titled, “Birth Control in Russia,” Sanger concluded:
Theoretically, there are no obstacles to birth control in Russia. It is accepted … on the grounds of health and human right…. [W]e could well take example from Russia, where there are no legal restrictions, no religious condemnation, and where birth control instruction is part of the regular welfare service of the government…
I was re-reading a bit of Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago the other day and happened along the bit about how the thieves were allowed to run wild in Russia – essentially, the police stopped going after them because it was a hassle and the criminals were let out for “good behavior” on the theory that criminality was a societal ill, not a personal failing (with, of course, the exception being anything which could be construed as a political offense – that was a product of wickedness, not society, and needed the full force of the law applied). Additionally, Russians were essentially forbidden to defend themselves against criminals – a man who did such a thing, and wound up killing his attacker, was liable for criminal prosecution. This is something we see very often, these days, in Britain – story after story of the police coming down like a ton of bricks on any honest man who actually defends himself against criminal attack.
It doesn’t matter what the issue is – the left works out of the same play book. Whether it is a supposedly enlightened member of the western intelligentsia or a Stalinist apparatchik, the results are always the same. The same irrational, anti-human policies always come out. Some versions of the left might pile up corpses in a more cruel fashion than others, but they all pile them up…and pile up the ruined lives, the blasted hopes and the intense corruption in the same manner.
There is no differences in the left because they all base themselves upon the same lie – the materialist, determinist lie which holds that human beings are on some sort of straight-line progression. That we started as microbes in the mud and are all headed towards the same goal – but a goal which for some inexplicable reason we have to be forced towards; coerced and cajoled by leftist leaders who alone know what is what. There is no thinking on the left because they have denied the validity of thought – all is pre-scripted and we just have to follow our lines, and have our heads bashed in if we flub them.
And they won’t change – not then, not now, not ever. To subscribe to leftist ideology requires an abdication of that human reason which is provided by God. They have forbidden themselves to think – and thus they can view an abortion as a good thing, and assert that justice requires serial acts of injustice. All we can do is fight them – and eventually crush them down and remove them from all aspects of power.
For those who say that we should compromise – how can people compromise when the desired goals destroy each other? How, for instance, can there be a compromise between those who believe in the inherent value of human life and those who don’t? There is no possibility of a half way meeting between the fire and the fire department – the fire must be put out, or it must burn everything.
