That's the highest concentration of far-right-wing crap I've read in a long time, but what did I really expect from a site called IM-1776. A name like that could only attract right-wing loyalists, or Red Coats as I like to call them for the irony.<p>I find their incessant focus on Marcuse to be a symptom of the right-wing obsession with "great men", and totally ignorant of most of leftist and anarchist history.<p>I especially feel the need to call out the last sentence in the first paragraph: <i>"And the fruit of the Left’s latest conquest has been the same as always — the extreme degradation of a decent, productive society"</i>. We all know right-wingers are the ones who degrade decency, and let's not pretend productivity isn't just a buzzword used by capitalist parasites who benefit from all our extra labor.<p>Another completely and blatantly false statement is <i>"the Left today dominates all areas of American life, not only all levels of government, directly or indirectly, but also private enterprise, education, media, culture, the military, and religious institutions"</i>. No they f*** don't, this country is right-wing to the core! The only people who think it's left-wing are people who mistakenly use <i>liberal</i> as a synonym for <i>leftist</i>, even though liberalism is a right-wing ideology. Get FOX "News" lies out of your head and look around you.<p>The author claims <i>"[leftists] wanted to destroy the deep structures of the West, achieve total emancipation from all unchosen bonds, combined with forced total equality of individuals, in order to usher in utopia"</i>. I see the problem now! Since the author is a right-winger, they do that right-wing thing where they think <i>liberal, leftist, socialist, marxist,</i> and <i>communist</i> are all the same same thing. In this case, they're talking about <i>Marxism</i> and other authoritarian socialist ideologies, NOT the <i>left</i> as they claim. This is one of the most effective methods of right-wing brainwashing, and that's why it's difficult to have a decent political discussion with American right-wingers; they simply don't know what the words mean.<p>Another ridiculous statement: <i>"goal behind the Left is the belief that the perfection of mankind is not only achievable, but just ahead"</i>. Everyone knows that's a right-wing take. That's literally right out of the Nazi playbook. That's why they did eugenics and genocide.<p>Another ridiculous statement: <i>"... that emotional arguments are far more effective at changing public opinion in a feminized society ..."</i>. Yeah, we all know right-wingers are sexists who can't stand the decline in mindless <i>machismo</i>, and who think women are emotional ignoramuses who can't make decisions for themselves.<p>The author just keeps mentioning right-wing things and blaming them on leftists. I especially found irony in their statement that "For the Left’s project, facts are always irrelevant. Most important is emotional manipulation".<p>For crying out loud, they claim Marcuse's <i>One Dimensional Man</i> was "an update to Marxist theory". I mean how dense can you get? No leftist I've ever spoken to had anything nice to say about that book or Marcuse.<p>This author plain old doesn't know what they're talking about.
