The True Origins and Meaning of the Left

The left is 100% about those without power in the West who wish to acquire it through rhetoric - and in their way stands Christianity, among other things. This line gets very complex, but in short is mostly about certain white people who do not like other white people, and who appropriate the causes of minorities to challenge reigning authorities in the west who oppose them. Ultimately, the "left" is anti-religious/athiest (because it wishes control over people), but focuses on Christianity not only out of convenience, but first because you need to take down the big fish before you can worry about the rest, who will presumably follow suit anyhow. No other religions in the West have anywhere near the power that Christianity does, and so they may be held aloft as causes until the time comes to take care of them too.

Where it gets creepy is when you notice that this has been going on for much longer than the life of Christianity - most noticeably, back to the Sophists - and consists of challenging not only Christianity but authority itself in the forms of reason, merit and wealth. Communism is much older than Marx, and is really just an expression of tyranny and political lust. Political bullies have always been with us, and in their way stands independence, wealth, and intelligence. Every anti-utopian work ever written is about these people. Utopianists are those who offer an unreal portrait of political perfection in order to justify their own supremacy, and are, I have learned, inherently liars. Control freaks = liars = tyrants, and their philosophy has always been the same - there is no such thing as truth, freedom is a product of control (instead of faith in human nature, or God's plan, for example), and people are inherently untrustworthy and must be controlled through strict laws - from the brutal legalists of ancient China to postmodernists, from sophists to communists, from Draco to Nationalist Socialism - all the same spirit, with varying expressions by context.

It really seems to be those who are envious of others' abilities and status, who wish to rob them of it. Tyrants imagine that the best way to control people is rob them of their identity and IQ - which sort of implies that they are jealous of these things - by erasing history, dumbing people down and convincing them that there is no such thing as free will. People are programmed and do not make choices, they argue, therefore you must program them to be obedient to laws. You should see the movie Rollerball (1975). It is not a coincidence that Christianity argues that God wants us to have free will, and that God helps those who help themselves. And I'm not even Christian! As the ancient Greeks observed, politics is a projection of personality and personality problems. The political is personal, in other words, not the other way around.
