The Endgame of the Left

So here is some doom and gloom for a gloomy day. It is overcast here, and the whole region has been under a sauna now for a week. Andrew Thomas has a piece up at the American Thinker today entitled The End Game of the Left. The opening paragraph:

Within the world of the far left, individuals have no value. Only the state matters. That is why the modern American statist devalues individual achievement and wealth. If, as in the socialist world of Marx, Engels, and Adolf Hitler (yes, Hitler, as I will explain later), God does not exist and humans have no souls, then the state determines the value of a human life. This philosophy leads to an ominous conclusion.

This is the same point, in different ways made by Goldberg in Liberal Fascism and by Levin in Liberty and Tyranny. Collectivists view the State as of maximum importance. To the degree that the individual buys into their rubbish, all is good, but if not, the individual is expendable. Contrast that with the Constitution, wherein the individual has protected rights, which, at least in theory, can not be trampled even by an overwhelming majority. Thomas again:

The statist philosophy, whether Islamic or otherwise, appears to condone and even embrace the concept of eliminating the members of the opposition by murdering them.

Or maybe just putting them in prison on trumped up charges, while letting miscreants go free because they were acting as the state wanted.

But after all, nothing like this could happen in America, right? Obama's building up of ACORN community organizers and the AmeriCorps civilian army with billions of dollars from the Stimulus couldn't be used against its own citizens, could it? His statement that "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded (as the military)" doesn't scare you, does it? ...

We have not really seen yet the shape of the "Civilian National Security Force" but its outlines may already have been legislated with the porkulus. Time will tell.

The end game of the left is the abortion and eugenic elimination of the "undesirables", the euthanasia of the old and infirm, and the genocide of those who disagree. Its objective is the purity of socialist thought. And it is pure evil.
