I<\/span>\u2019m looking around the world right now, and what I see isn\u2019t all bad. In fact, there are lots of indications of positive things happening or about to happen. What strikes me, though, in seeing the hopeful signs, is the contrast between those and the, er\u2026 other things going on in the world.<\/p>\n

For example, the Moorish invasion of the Spanish town of Ceuta.<\/p>\n

Much of the reporting, particularly on social media, that you\u2019ve seen is overhyped and factually shaky. There was indeed a massive wave of migrants from Morocco into that North African town, which briefly doubled its population of 85,000. The migrants were almost exclusively male; most were Moroccans \u2014 unemployment in Morocco is as high as 29 percent in some parts of the country \u2014 and the remainder seems to be largely sub-Saharan Africans. That wave generated some utterly appalling video, to be sure, though the accusations made against the Spanish government, namely that it invited the wave and seeks to profit politically by it, appear not to be accurate.\u00a0(RELATED: I\u2019m a Spanish Taxpayer. This Is Why the West Doesn\u2019t Need to Reward Illegal Immigrants.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pedro S\u00e1nchez, the socialist president of that country, actually sent in the army to repel that invasion, and as of Monday it seems that all but 3,000-5,000 of the migrants had been returned to Morocco. None have made it across the Strait of Gibraltar to the Iberian mainland.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s fairly obvious that the human-trafficking cartels which control African migration \u2014 whether North African or sub-Saharan African \u2014 into Europe were simply testing the Spanish government\u2019s resolve and capabilities, and with the better part of 100,000 people conducting a human wave into a small territory on a compressed timeline one can\u2019t help but to see Ceuta as a textbook example of what happens when the bad guys go unchecked.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1nchez\u2019s government is not in the business of checking bad guys. He\u2019s been Spain\u2019s president since 2018, and he\u2019s all but wrecked the country with terrible economic policies, catastrophic immigration policies and rampant corruption. In truth, those migrants were almost certainly attempting to enter Spain as a way station to someplace better in Europe.\u00a0(RELATED: What\u2019s Wrong With Spain? It\u2019s Pedro S\u00e1nchez.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is that the U.K.? Some 2,000 illegal aliens have entered Great Britain through the English Channel since its new prime minister, Andy Burnham, was anointed to replace Keir Starmer as the captain of the sinking ship which is the Labour government, and the citizenry seems to be angrier than ever before. Burnham\u2019s chief political opponent, Nigel Farage of the Reform UK Party, has come out publicly for employing the Royal Navy to blockade the English Channel and prevent crossings by migrants in small boats and rubber rafts, which has generated howls of opposition from the French, who have allowed their country to become the leading repository for African migrants.\u00a0(RELATED: Five Quick Things: Henry Nowak, the Inevitable British Civil War, and What It Means for Us)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The old line that you can vote yourself into socialism but you\u2019ve got to shoot your way out is very relevant here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The current governing class in Western Europe seems to be unanimous in its approach to migration by non-Westerners into their countries \u2014 namely, that they want as much of it as they can hide from the public, and any resistance to that wave they\u2019ll put up is mostly performative and never long-lasting.<\/p>\n

Nobody really thinks the Moroccans turned back at Ceuta won\u2019t eventually make it into Europe. It\u2019s only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

And so the lands of Ferdinand and Isabella, and of Charles Martel, are gradually being gobbled up by the modern-day Moors, with little real prospect of a Reconquista on the horizon.<\/p>\n

One may come, but before it does there will need to be a wave of political revolution, and perhaps bloody revolution, throughout Western Europe.<\/p>\n

The old line that you can vote yourself into socialism but you\u2019ve got to shoot your way out is very relevant here. Allow these people political power, and they will eat away at your democratic and cultural institutions until there is nothing left but the corruption they\u2019ve installed, and those institutions collapse into themselves. And you\u2019ll have to build new institutions to replace them.<\/p>\n

Which is what you get when you allow the lunatics into power.<\/p>\n

The serialization of my new novel The Necessary Men<\/em> will begin here at The American Spectator<\/em> in just more than a week, as I\u2019ve noted, and in writing it I did more research into Cuba\u2019s maladministration under the communist revolutionary tyranny which controls that country than I would have cared to. The only conclusion anyone can come to in surveying the 67 years since Fidel Castro and his cronies seized power there is that the Cuban revolutionaries are lunatics.<\/p>\n

Crafty lunatics, who, as the State Department\u2019s report on Cuban communism made clear, are far more dangerous and have been for a long time. That\u2019s certain. But lunatics all the same.\u00a0(RELATED: The Castroist Playbook Comes to America)<\/strong><\/p>\n

To get a good glimpse of what they\u2019ve made of that country, I\u2019ll direct you to a YouTuber who goes by Adventure Elliot; he\u2019s from Wisconsin but actually lives in Spain, and earlier this year he traversed Cuba to produce 12 travelog videos exposing what the Castroites have done to the place.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve turned it into a madhouse. Neighbor turns on neighbor. Every foreigner is mobbed and scammed. People live in filth, conditioned to accept what the revolution gives them \u2014 which is misery. Initiative is punished, and the supposed classless society now manifests itself in two tiers of people \u2014 those with relatives in the United States or elsewhere who remit money to them to pay for basic necessities in what private shops the communists allow, and those without who stand in line at the state stores.<\/p>\n

As everyone\u2019s house falls down around them.<\/p>\n

Use Google Earth\u2019s satellite view to navigate around Cuba, and you will see things which make no sense \u2014 there are literal ruins in every town on the island, buildings which collapsed from years of neglect and have just been left to molder. People raid those sites for bricks or other building materials; in some cases, the inhabitants of those collapsed houses remain in what shelter they can find.<\/p>\n

And in less than five years, Cuba\u2019s population has declined from 11 million to less than nine and a half million. Just as Venezuela, Cuba\u2019s protege communist paradise, ran off a quarter of its own population in a decade.<\/p>\n

To live like that is lunacy. Cuba won\u2019t for very much longer; it can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And yet the lunatics are somehow not discredited.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re watching the Democrat Party come apart at the seams. As David Catron noted on Monday, James Carville says he won\u2019t be in the same party as Hasan Piker, and that\u2019s a noble sentiment, but it\u2019s too late. Polling indicates the Democrats can\u2019t stop Francesca Hong, a committed \u2014 well, in one sense; in another she\u2019s uncommitted, and this is a problem \u2014 lunatic running for governor of that state whose Twitter\/X feed contains some of the most insane, hateful drivel imaginable. Just recently, Hong dropped a post on X which accused the patrons of the Wisconsin staple Culver\u2019s Restaurants of genocidal racism based on her own feelings and perceptions without any concrete substance to them, which generated national buzz, and yet the Democrat voters of that state don\u2019t seem to be coming off her. She\u2019s going to win her primary unless something massive changes.\u00a0(RELATED: Why Republicans May Defy Midterm History)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And Piker just descended on Wisconsin to stump for her. Which doesn\u2019t appear to be a scandal among the party\u2019s voters. (RELATED: The New Brownshirts?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Piker is also stumping for Abdul El-Sayed, who is now as much as a 15-point favorite over the more establishmentarian Heather Stevens in the Michigan Senate race. El-Sayed comes from an accomplished academic background and has apparently made a lot of money based on the properties he and his wife own, but we don\u2019t know how he managed it. He\u2019s an avowed DSA socialist whose speeches and pronouncements contain open rejections of the American founding and way of life, and it doesn\u2019t seem to bother Michigan Democrat voters in the least.<\/p>\n

Because Michigan Democrats, like Wisconsin Democrats, are now made up of a majority of lunatics who think that abandoning American culture, economics, and politics and putting people like Francesca Hong and Abdul El-Sayed, not to mention Darieliza Avila Chevalier and Zohran Mamdani, in positions of power will create something better.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

And we see something else, which defines it as lunacy \u2014 namely, an utter refusal to recognize that these things do not work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

This isn\u2019t stupidity. It\u2019s lunacy. It\u2019s pathological, because we already see, in the decline in Western Europe and the destruction in Cuba, what those belief systems create.<\/p>\n

And we see something else, which defines it as lunacy \u2014 namely, an utter refusal to recognize that these things do not work.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a problem. Dealing with lunatics whose worldviews are impervious to their own failures leads to intractable dilemmas. A perfect case of this involves the lunatics in charge of Iran.\u00a0(RELATED: When the Villagers Finally Have Had Enough of the Pillagers)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been five months since the current round of bombing started, and basically all of America is tired of the Iranian conflict, the off-and-on blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, the higher gasoline prices that blockage has fostered, and the intermittent reports of American casualties. President Trump is without a doubt looking for a suitable off-ramp from the conflict for domestic political reasons.<\/p>\n

But the truth is that beyond the perception of this five-month staccato of air strikes and negotiations,\u00a0 there is indeed a forever war. It isn\u2019t ours; it\u2019s Iran\u2019s. Since 1979, that regime has done everything it could to plunge itself into open conflict with the world\u2019s largest superpower because the people in charge of Iran since their revolution believe that if they can start enough trouble, a 1,200-year-old man will climb up out of a well and perfect the planet.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s lunacy. Those are lunatics. And Trump and his team, who keep going back to the table again and again after beating on the lunatics, destroying their military infrastructure, taking apart their capabilities to make war and affect the geostrategic situation, and yet nonetheless offering them an offramp to their own inevitable demise, are finding that you can\u2019t negotiate with lunatics because their math is not the same as yours.<\/p>\n

Iran doesn\u2019t want peace with us. Iran wants to destroy us. If we\u2019re going to have peace with Iran, we\u2019re going to need a different Iran.<\/p>\n

Just like we\u2019re going to need a different Cuba.<\/p>\n

And just like there will have to be a different Western Europe if the continent is going to save itself from the demographic time bomb ticking ever more loudly as it packs migrant on top of migrant to weigh down an already sclerotic society.\u00a0(RELATED: Spain\u2019s Demographic Suicide: A Generational Error Europe Will Not Undo)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And just like we will eventually come back to a reality this country once embraced, which is that there can be no bread broken or accord made with the Francesca Hongs and Zohran Mamdanis.<\/p>\n

You have to deny power to the lunatics. This is neither negotiable nor avoidable. It\u2019s a lesson we seem doomed to repeat the hard way, and we will invariably learn it again soon.<\/p>\n
