My point was that the entire thread started off from the wrong place.
The major philosophy of the Far Left has been that, in order for a
Communist Paradise to be created, Western Civilization, and American in
particular, must be destroyed. According the philosophy, the anarchy
that will appear in its wake will naturally turn into a Communist
paradise, where greed and evil (which are creations of Western
Civilization) will disappear.

Now, other than the fact that this theory does not have a single iota
of factual evidence to back it up, the main proponents of this theory
managed to turn themselves into "Anarchists in Liberal's clothing",
creating writings which are designed to appeal to the kama side of
people's better natures, political theories which appeal to an emotional
level, but do not stand up to logical analysis. And part of this is,
"Anything that supports Western Civilization, Christianity, and America
in particular, is evil, while anything that works to destroy these is
good." After the philosophy of Karl Marx, they divide the world into
oppressors and victims, and label America (whose freedoms are the
biggest danger to Communism) as the greatest oppressor of all.

Unfortunately for them, the holes in their theory are showing, because
in order for them to be against the West, they are now supporting an
entity which is a far greater oppressor than the West has ever been, and
even has a central philosophy of oppression against all who are not like
them, and many who are (this refers to so-called "radical" Islam,
although I have noticed that very few normal Islamic people have been
denouncing these groups). 

Since the leaders of these movements have been carefully trained to
appeal to the kama manas, those who choose to make their decisions with
their buddhi manas are labeled as "evil"; truly, those who are actively
trying to evolve is the greatest obstacle towards this group.
