I agree with your assessment of the article and of the left. I don’t call the left Marxist or liberal etc., I call them common criminal thugs, bent on stealing our property and liberty until their jackboots are across our throats. They hide behind the labels they have conjured up and as you say there is nothing progressive about turning back the clock to the time of feudal societies.
Every government that has become Marxist has quickly decayed into a criminal enterprise. It is in the nature of the Marxist state for it to be controlled by a strongman.
Power corrupts and no power corrupts more thoroughly than a totalitarian form of government. No matter how it is done when predominant power is put in the hands of a small cabal it instantly becomers a criminal enterprise.
ISIS and HAMAS are perfect illustrations of criminal cabals. The leadership of these organizations are multimillionares living in huge mansions. Their entire mentality is to use their power for personal gain. They are, to a man, criminals.
