Bruce Walker has recently re-published “Sinisterism: The Secular Religion of the Lie,” and expanded it into two volumes (Outskirts Press, Denver, 2013, third edition). The first volume contends the left-right ideological spectrum needs to be scrapped if people truly want to understand modern secular history. Walker demonstrates the left-right divide that pits Nazis on the far right against Communists on the far left, with varying degrees of Socialism and Capitalism in between, should be replaced with the honest admission that we often live in a mad, mad, mad, mad world – or what Walker brands as different branches of “Sinisterism” ...

Stopped reading at ‘Nazism of the far right’. Those who don’t understand History should not be instructing it..

You need to continue to read the piece because Walker trashes that idea throughout his entire work.

Walker simplifies the ideological political spectrum between Communists, Socialists, Nazis and Fascists as gang rivals of the so-called left.

Well, most of us here already knew that Satan was behind Liberalism, Marxism, Secularism and Islam too. Didn’t we?

The unique feature of Walker’s book(s) is that he uses books written at the time to prove his case.

“Sinisterism" is the exact word for the socialists pretending to be the "classical liberals" our Founding Fathers were.

sin·is·ter/ˈsɪnəstər/ adjective 1. threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous: a sinister remark.
2. bad, evil, base, or wicked; fell: his sinister purposes.
3. unfortunate; disastrous; unfavorable: a sinister accident.
4. of or on the left side; left.

Thus instead of calling our idealology opponenets "liberals " I suggest we rightfully follow Walker's lead and call them “Sinisters"
