QuoteWhen the people of this country realize how few solutions the right wing has you will see an appreciation that maybe we ought to try the left.
The crucial question is whether the left will be courageous enough to say what's going on and to offer a real alternative.
Originally the Left was not an evil Satan. It was about Working People. Working People taking control of the means of production to stop exploitation.
In America the Right successfully perverted the meaning of Left to be the support of rights of every kind. In particular ridiculous ones that would pervert basic family values, and which are offensive to all but the perverted.
America's belief of what the Left is about, is wrong. The Left because of its commitment to stop exploitation of all kinds, does support minority movements and causes, that many people may not like. This support, meaning the right of all people to demand equal rights and treatment under the law and such, a fair shake in life. Has been perverted by the Right to mean full support of every looney-tune lifestyle one can think of, and some that you have not thought of.
It is time to provide clarity. The Left is about stopping exploitation, and all about giving people control of their own lives. That is it, that is all.
The exact opposite of what the Right has re-defined the Left to be in America. If the Left is going to be courageous enough to say what's going on, the Left has to remember what it was about to begin with.
Approval of a fringe cause is no more than calling out a case of exploitation. It is not advocacy of the fringe. That is a different issue.
The Left is actually about things being fair.
