The left’s historical support for tyranny and terrorism

The left thinks western capitalist democracy is basically flawed, and is always in search of some kind of revolutionary “change” that will make everything right. As a result, the left has a history of getting excited about romantic foreign leaders and third-world “rebels”.

The right, in contrast, thinks the answers to how to order society lie in the Western Enlightenment and were basically worked out in the 17th-18th centuries. As a result, the right has little interest in new “revolutionary” ideas, especially ones from outside the West. The right is largely unimpressed with the non-western world. In fact, the right seldom gets excited about foreigners at all, especially if they are non-westerners or third-world people.

The predictable result of these differences is that the left has a far more embarrassing track record of supporting foreign tyranny than the right. And because of these differences, this track record is likely to continue (see for example the recent left-wing enthusiasm for the butchers of the Iraqi resistance). This page lays out some of the shocking (and not widely-enough known) expressions of support from comfortable western intellectuals (mostly left-wing or left-leaning) for foreign tyrannies they would never live under themselves.

The western left has a long history of supporting third world tyranny that they would never live under themselves.
Shown here is how many western leftists still consider people like Che Guevara and Mao cool in some way.

Too bad they were lied to, and what they were really doing was allowing communists to enter the US in their absence. They were fighting wars for Israel in essence spreading Communism. This Saddens me. Great people with Great minds were sold a packet of lies and they signed in their blood thinking they were doing the best thing for their country, family, and community. Meanwhile instead of this man having a reliable job as your groundskeeper  you have Hector who thinks America should be Mexico. End This Perpetual War for Israel before all of America is lost to the Nightmare Act. And America is smothered by an Israeli backed Racist America and Europe Hating populace that wishes to Democide our nations.

During the Vietnam War there were many badass’s and great soldiers. Many who lost their lives fighting to prevent the spread of Communism. But there was one who stood out, he was considered a hero among many. This is that man.

Nothing like a little Fasco-Marxism for a change of pace
