At the root of all progressivism is arrogance and grandiosity. They are ‘all knowing’, and therefor it's their way, or the highway.

I disagree.

Not all Leftism is based on Marxism. Admittedly, varieties of Marxism are dominant, but it isn’t the sole foundation.

[Paine in the Neck]

Leftism, the short version:

You have stuff;

I want it.

[Uncle Miltie]

“I’m better than you. I should control you.”

There. Leftism in eight words.

I would add, as part of this sickness, the following:

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude.

David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".

This is a good post. Explains things easily. I hope it is viewed, read and digested by many. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 NKJV). So, yes, leftism is older than all other “isms”. The left is just following “their” hero, their master, Satan. Christ, by contrast, offers life - and life more abundantly. Choose wisely for I believe the end of all things is near.

All the more interesting, really, that the lefties are the ones who have benefited the most from the American Dream, and want to take it away from everyone but themselves, of course. In THEIR minds, they use wealth for good and we are too stingy!

[DBeers]

I like your thoughts; good stuff.

Excellent post. The fact that the Left claims to believe in "materialism" even as its doctrine of inevitable progress-to-perfection requires some sort of supernatural oversight is down right creepy. The author should have pointed out that the Khmer Rouge constantly threatened that to resist them was to be ground down by the "wheel of history." How long before our liberals actually begin using that expression???

I disagree that they are opposed to patriotism. They are opposed to certain types of patriotism (American, Israeli, "western") but endorse the fanatical patriotism of Third World nationalists and of "socialist states." Even some white European movements evince this leftist version of patriotism, with publications with names like Red Patriot (among the Celts) and an actual "Patriotic Left" in Spain (Basques, Galicians, etc.).

And oh yes, that old lie that "the state is the people." Therefore what the state owns the people own, what the state wills the people will, and whoever opposes the state is an "enemy of the people." What about all those so-called "anarchists" on the Left, eh?
