WHAT MAKES LEFTISTS LIKE JIHADISTS?

From Reliapundit at the Astute Bloggers:

WHAT MAKES LEFTISTS LIKE JIHADISTS?

FOUR THINGS:

1. COLLECTIVISM.
2. SUPREMACISM.
3. STATISM
   
4. UTOPIANISM.

THESE APPLY TO BOTH FANTASY IDEOLOGIES:

1. COLLECTIVISM: THEY THINK THE GROUP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE INDIVIDUAL AND THAT PERSONAL RIGHTS ARE DERIVED FROM BEING A MEMBER OF CERTAIN GROUPS.
2. SUPREMATISM: THEY THINK THEIR IDEOLOGY IS SUPREME.
3. STATISM: THEY NEED A STRONG STATE TO IMPOSE THEIR IDEOLOGY.
4. UTOPIANISM: THEY THINK THE ONLY THING BETWEEN THE CURRENT DISFUNCTIONALITY OF SOCIETY IS THE FACT THAT THEIR SUPREME BELIEFS AREN'T IMPOSED ON THE COLLECTIVE BY A TOTALITARIAN STATE.

• CLASSICAL LIBERALS, (CONSERVATIVES AND NEO-CONS) BELIEVE THAT ONLY INDIVIDUALS HAVE RIGHTS AND THAT THESE RIGHTS ARE INALIENABLE AND ENDOWED BY THE CREATOR, AND THAT THE STATE DERIVES ITS RIGHTS FROM THE PEOPLE.

• CLASSICAL LIBERALS BELIEVE THAT SOCIETY IS NOT PERFECTIBLE, THAT NO IDEOLOGY HOLDS THE KEY TO UTOPIA AND THAT THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR IS TO LIVE IN A FREE SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO LIVE AS THEY PLEASE, TO PURSUE HAPPINESS IN THEIR OWN WAY, AND THAT THIS LIBERTY PRODUCES PROSPERITY.

• TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN A FREE SOCIETY WE HAVE TO BATTLE BOTH THE LEFTISTS AND JIHADISTS.

• NEITHER GREEN TAXES OR QUOTAS OR WAGE AND PRICE CONTROLS OR LIVING ACCORDING TO THE KORAN UNDER PAIN OF DEATH CAN DO ANYTHING EXCEPT TURN PEOPLE INTO SLAVES.

• IF LEFTISM OR JIHADISM WORKED, THEN THE USSR UNDER MARXISM AND AFGHANISTAN UNDER THE TALIBAN - OR IRAQ UNDER SADDAM - WOULD HAVE BEEN PARADISE.

THEY WERE HELL ON EARTH.

APPEASING EITHER LEFTISM OR JIHADISM ONLY STRENGTHENS THEM.

WE MUST ATTACK THEM BOTH, RELENTLESSLY - CEASELESSLY - IF WE WANT TO REMAIN FREE.
