There Is Nothing the Left Will Not Do

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

China’s Esther Cheo: “‘We were taken in a lorry to the place of execution, near the famous tourist spot, the Temple of Heaven.  The victims were kneeling down beside cheap coffins, their hands tied behind their backs with wire.  About six security police moved nonchalantly along shooting them in the back of the head.   As they fell, some of their heads split open, some just fell with a neat little hole, while others had their brains splattered all over the dusty ground and on to the clothes of the next victims.’ As she turned away in revulsion, a cadre grabbed her by the shoulders.   ‘Take a good look!’ he shouted.   ‘This is what the revolution is all about!’” (Frank Dikotter)

Frankly, Leftist totalitarians frighten me a little bit, as they should all of us.  These people have no conscience at all, and people who have no conscience have no limits.   The Democratic Party-created barbarians who are roaming American streets now are like that, which is why they can rape, steal, murder, and commit all sorts of heinous crimes with no compunction.   They have no moral standards but those they create themselves.  But these city savages tend to act arbitrarily, often on impulse or improvisation.   The leaders of this movement—the Lenins, Stalins, Maos, Hitlers, Obamas, Pelosis—they are calculating, cold, organizational, determined, and decisive.  They know what they are doing, and they do it deliberately.  It is a designed scheme to gain power in any way possible.

And since they have no conscience, anybody, even their own, can be targeted.   It happens in nearly every Leftist revolution.

The “Reign of Terror” in the French Revolution, during which the King and Queen of France, and thousands of “counter-revolutionaries” were guillotined or killed in other ways, ended in late July, 1794, when Maximilian Robespierre and others who had led the Terror, were themselves guillotined.  The Revolution ate its own.  Nobody was safe.

One author explained Stalin’s Great Terror of the late-1930s:  “The Great Terror of 1937...was a brutal political campaign led by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to eliminate dissenting members of the Communist Party and anyone else he considered a threat.”  Note:  “dissenting members of the Communist Party and anyone else he considered a threat.”   Nearly every early supporter of Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution (who was still alive at the time) was killed.   Stalin let no one, not even his own friends or former comrades, stand in the way of his having totalitarian power.

Adolf Hitler, as historian Norman Davies explained, was a strange duck ideologically.  There were elements of both “rightism” and “leftism” in his ideas, mainly because he was an ignoramus with no ability to concoct a coherent, systematic philosophy.   But he wasn’t above killing his own people either.  From June 30 to July 2, 1934, several hundred people, including Nazi SA leader Ernst Rohm, were murdered or imprisoned as the paranoid Hitler feared an upheaval against his leadership within his party.  Nazis had to be eliminated, too, if they challenged the Fuhrer.

And Mao Zedong did the same.  His “Cultural Revolution” from 1966-76 was aimed, at least in part, at communists whom Mao feared.  He called them “capitalist roaders”—those who wanted to put China back on the “road” to “capitalism.”  But that was just an excuse for mass murder, for eliminating any opposition to his totalitarian control.  Leftists are good at coming up with euphemisms to execrate their enemies.  In America, it’s “racist,” or “white supremacist,” or something similar.

The point of all the above is in the title of this article.  There is nothing the Left will not do, include killing their own, to gain and hold power.  “‘Take a good look!’ he shouted.  ‘This is what the revolution is all about!’”  And if they have no compunction about killing their own, do you think they will have any conscience pangs about killing you and me, those whom they consider “counter-revolutionaries” and who oppose their path to power?

Recently, prominent commentators on the right (and me in a Townhall article) expressed concern over the possibility of some Leftist kook trying to assassinate Donald Trump.  I believe that the information I provided above is abundant historical evidence that such an idea would not, in the least, be above the Leftists in America.  A Leftist is a Leftist is a Leftist, wherever in the world he/she resides, whether in China, Europe, Africa, Latin America—or the United States.  These people are frightening.  They have no conscience.  They have no morals.  There is nothing they will not do to obtain and hold power.

A people who will abort babies with no conscience, who will mutilate children for the sexual gratification of perverts, who will exalt child sex-slave pedophilia, who will deny the most basic human trait (gender) for political gain and thereby ruin countless lives, who will turn criminals loose by the thousands on American streets, who will make every effort to destroy their own country by importing millions of people who haven’t been vetted and have no true allegiance to the United States, people whose only goal is their own political power—people like that aren’t going to balk at trying to kill the man they hate more than any other, the man they consider the greatest threat to their globalist plans for totalitarian power.

I might even be a little worried if I were Joe Biden.  If the radical Leftists who control the Democratic Party fear that he will be the cause of their defeat, and if he will not voluntarily step down...well, I don’t know.  All I do know is what happened to Robespierre, Ernst Rohm, Stalin’s communist party opponents, and Mao’s “capitalist roaders”.  The Left doesn’t care who the useful idiot at the top is; Kamala Harris is just as good, to them, as Joe Biden.

History shows there is absolutely nothing the Left won’t do to obtain and hold power.
