The Left Is Tenacious, But Also Both Insane and Incompetant

Amici,

Chesterton wrote somewhere, perhaps in Orthodoxy, that Economic Determinism (the materialist philsophy of economics of the Left) was like saying, "Because I have feet, I only walk around on them to find shoes for them."

The "Left" is much in the news as they continue, feverishly, to take down President Donald J. Trump. 

They are tenancious, of course. But isn't that all they are? I mean, isn't that their only good quality? Other than that, they are insane.

Honestly, they are insane, don't you think? Their Old Testament prophet, Karl Marx, was disproved in his own lifetime as the incredible progress of technology mated to free market economics resulted in ever increased wealth, and now, today, it has resulted in a "First World" were even the "poor" have TVs and a material level few have ever had in mankind's history. (Had it not been for World War I, Marxism/Communism would have conquered nothing.) But here's the Left today, still acting like we're in a Charles Dickens-world of Blake's "Dark, satanic mills." The world they think exists is so NOT the world that does appear before us, that surely we must necessarily conclude they gone mad.

I've talked at length to a middle-aged Leftist, a woman who had a good life after her parents escaped Communism -- but she just seems to be fixated on the idea that private property, corporations, and all that, are E.V.I.L., yet somehow, "government" is good, pure, utterly unselfish and absolutely altruistic. It amazes me. She just seems incapable of any other "computing". And of course, Trump to her is a buffoon, an ogre, etc etc.

My point is that such utter disconnect with reality is unsustainable (to use a favorite word of the Left). The Left neither spins nor reaps, as Our Lord said, but how long with God feed them (as it were) when they are BOTH useless in themselves, and of such a nuisance to competent, working, achieving people? 

Perhaps they suspect this in some unconscious way, and realize this is their last chance -- either get rid of Donald J. Trump or he will, in eight years, reveal all of them to be -- from Obama to this acquaintance of mine -- to be complete twits. Incompetent scolds. Puritanical lechers. Envy-dominated mannequins.

No wonder they hate Trump so.
