A<\/span> 20th-century leftist might have debated how much the state should intervene in citizens\u2019 lives. A postmodern leftist only debates how far the transformation of society and the minds of each individual citizen should go. It\u2019s as if they have gone from being bad economists to being bad psychoanalysts.<\/p>\n

Gender politics, rewriting history, multiculturalism and open borders, or abolishing the police were issues that used to be addressed by a small group of leftists we called the \u201cfar left.\u201d In both the United States and Europe, these issues are now the central agenda of left-wing parties, starting with the Democratic Party, perfectly caricatured today in what AOC represents.\u00a0(RELATED: The Marxist-Islamist Alliance Feeds On DSA Na\u00efvet\u00e9)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A curious observation: leftists never try to convince informed and free people; they always go after those they consider dependent and malleable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The 20th-century left, the left of class politics, was profoundly wrong about everything, but the contemporary left, the left of identity politics, is simply insane. The revolution that socialists entrusted to the proletariat of the last century, they now intend to carry out with an army made up of trans people, immigrants, people of fluid and intermittent sexuality, and ordinary Americans who are suddenly fascinated with Islam. Sometimes, when I watch the woke army struggling to form a uniform line, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m looking at real soldiers or just at a circus.\u00a0(RELATED: You Simply Cannot Give Power to Lunatics)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A curious observation: leftists never try to convince informed and free people; they always go after those they consider dependent and malleable. Just as yesterday they went after the workers, and especially the blue-collar workers and those who, a priori<\/em>, are less intellectually qualified, now they\u2019re going after the freaks, those who don\u2019t know their own identity, and those who urgently need to see a psychologist.<\/p>\n

In comparison, the blue-collar workers at least had the dignity of labor and an ethical foundation vastly superior to that of this brainwashed mass of followers of postmodern progressivism. Perhaps it\u2019s time to pass a law (Good Lord! Am I asking the government to solve something? What have I become?) that prevents political parties from seducing those with obvious mental problems with Gnostic rhetoric. If you think about it, by gathering the mentally ill, the left has become one of those infamous cults from the 90s where one idiot managed to get a thousand fools to give him money, offer him sexual favors, and later commit suicide without killing him.\u00a0(RELATED: From Daniel Patrick Moynihan to Samuel Moyn: What Happened to the American Left?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The left is now extreme because it refuses any dialogue. They brandish a Catechism, and anyone who doesn\u2019t endorse it 100 percent is the enemy, a fascist, or simply has lost their humanity and can be cast into oblivion, ruin, or even prison. It\u2019s true that it was easier to argue about John Maynard Keynes than about Judith Butler, because at least there were some intelligent arguments to confront, but it\u2019s also true that, when there\u2019s no intellectual foundation, political debate consists of nothing more than spitting at each other, which terrifies conservatives \u2014 and I don\u2019t blame them.<\/p>\n

The past four years have taught us that the culture war must be fought where culture actually resides: in the media, universities, and major corporations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps that\u2019s why the right took so long to realize that the old rules of politics were useless against the sectarian left of the 21st century. At the turn of the century, the left abandoned parliamentary politics and took its culture war to universities, the media, schools, international institutions, and major corporations. Meanwhile, the right kept talking to itself in parliament \u2014 with elegant speeches and brilliant arguments \u2014 without realizing that no one was listening anymore. The past four years have taught us that the culture war must be fought where culture actually resides: in the media, universities, and major corporations. The first conservative boycotts quickly taught those institutions that brainwashing their own customers with the latest woke dogmas came at a price.\u00a0(RELATED: Meet America\u2019s New Un-Americans\u2026 the DSA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The left of the last century had certain limits, at least if we disregard violent dictatorships and totalitarian leaders. At least in theory, freedom of expression, the presumption of innocence, and equality before the law were things that could equally appeal to a European social democrat or a Democratic Party voter, who at the time was too preoccupied with justifying Clinton\u2019s sexual escapades to think of novel arguments for the next century. The left today has no limits: freedom of expression and equality before the law cease to be values \u200b\u200band become obstacles when they are perceived as interfering with their own ideological agenda.<\/p>\n

It is also typical of extremists and dictators to be obsessed with controlling language. The great theorists of revolutions know that, in any psychological battle, the one who can name things wins. That is why the first thing the postmodern left did was to start renaming everything: from sex or gender to the way we refer to certain races. It is fair to admit that they won the battle of the dictionary. And that it will be the last thing that conservatives manage to reverse, because in language it is much harder to go backward than forward.<\/p>\n

In short, wherever you look, the left today is entirely far left. Even where they boast of moderation, like the idiotic European social democrats, it is just a smiling mask to disguise an extremist agenda that peeks out everywhere they have the power to influence or the capacity to govern. The same progressive agenda they infiltrated the U.N., the WHO, Davos, and almost everywhere else.<\/p>\n

If you want to fix things, you must first understand them. There is no longer any such thing as \u201cthe left.\u201d There is only the far left. And it must be confronted as such.<\/p>\n
