All My Criticism Of The Left Is An Internal Criticism By A Leftist - Hate Mail

All of my criticism of the left is an internal criticism of the left, I'm an egalitarian absolutist, a radical democrat who believes that government of, by and for The People is the only legitimate government, all others being gangster regimes of one intensity or another, a radical on environmental protection, etc.   Every position I take, those which are recognized as being of the left and those which I hold which I insist are genuinely and rightly seen as really leftist - such as my opposition to pornography, the prostitution of women, children, men, the abuse of animals and the environment, the attribution of rights only to People and other living beings, not to artificial entities, objects, words, etc. - is in line with egalitarian democracy, far from the least for human beings the absolute right  to economic justice, radically egalitarian justice, and comes directly from that distillation of The Law and The Prophets, commonly called "The Golden Rule".  

There isn't anything more radical than that.  Though lots of ideological crap which is actually in support of gangster government is mistakenly believed to be the essence of radicalism when it is its opposite. 

I won't stand second to any such pseudo-leftist of the play-left in my radicalism.  The traditional American style of liberalism which I share is a kind of genuine leftism that things like Marxism and the absurdity of anarchism are not.  The play-left is a tool of fascism because their one and only success has been in damaging the real left, discrediting it by a foolish association even may genuine leftists were duped into.

I have been incubating the idea of a post criticizing the newly found conservative reticence to Trump that they haven't ever mounted anything like an internal criticism of American conservatism which has, in fact, progressively led down to him, through George W. Bush and before him his father, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, the likes of Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell, etc.  I have little doubt that if a real democrat becomes president and real democrats have a majority in the congress such newly minted Never Trumpers will go right back to calling for exactly what produced him.  If they'd like to prove me wrong and mount an effective critique of the Republican Party that went fascist, I'd be very glad to acknowledge they have proved me wrong.
