Leftist Fundamentals: Violence, Hatred, and Lying |
Cole Allen’s leftism and his attempt to kill President Trump are not the least bit surprising to anyone who knows history and leftist philosophy. Violence, hatred, and lying are cardinal principles of leftist doctrine, but certainly not their only evils. If I were, in the title, to list every vile attribute the Left believes in and practices as part of their ideology, this column would only consist of one long title. So, I’m going to stop with violence, hatred, and lying, prove that those are part of leftism, and describe other leftist barbarities in other articles. Let’s look at the above three.
Who are the greatest mass murderers in human history? Well, there have been plenty, but leftists top the list, as follows:
- Mao Zedong, China (1949-76). The “Great Leap Forward” in the late 1950s/early 1960s caused deaths by famine, forced labor, and executions, which the best historians estimate to be between 36 and 45 million; the true number will never be known. Add to those figures the deaths during the Cultural Revolutions (1966-76) and various other inhuman savageries of Mao during his life, and it is generally estimated that Mao killed between 60-70 million innocents in his life. Even leftists have to admit he killed at least 15 million. They always estimate low, of course, so that their heroes won’t seem so bad.

Stalin’s various terrors and butcheries caused the deaths of 20 to 60 million Russians during his dictatorship (again, the low figure is the leftist figure and almost certainly understated). His purges, forced labor in gulags, famines, executions, and deportations caused these millions of deaths. And this doesn’t include........
