Goho: Dangers of radical left ideology

THERE is a grave danger to an ever growing radical communistic ideology all over the world. There had been significant paradigm shifts over recent years where values have ultimately gone down for the worse. It is compelling to contemplate on the unfortunate direction of humanity in general and one can only foresee the impending destruction this will ensue on our values and way of life.

For instance, there is a trickiness regarding the flawed and distorted leftist ideology as it slowly and quietly infiltrates our communities as we witness a strong insistence on various collectivist, pathological, and extremist viewpoints. Most of which are emotionally driven manifested through mob mentalities. One simply cannot orient themselves in the world in this manner without consequences.

While injustice and inequality are reasonable horrors that need addressing, as one examines the extreme leftist agendas more closely, it becomes clearer that there is no coherence to such vague positions and there are fundamental flaws in adapting primarily to a default egalitarian and Marxist outlook which fails to draw the line distinctly.

While there may also be paramount problems with radical right wing group, racial superiority or authoritarian stances are easy to pinpoint and compartmentalize. However, the radical left is too mindlessly relativistic and destructive.

These notions may ultimately be mere masks which reek of a long discredited economic theory applying communist or socialist principles that may be detrimental to highly functioning capitalist and free market societies which had been proven and tested to create wondrous opportunities.

Most of such leftist viewpoints are but flawed agendas guised on a false fervor for equity and justice. Tribalistic sentiments and identity politics are the dominating force where moral relativism and subjectivism inevitably prevails. This distorts any notion for a logical and objective dialogue.

Sadly, these passionate leftist extremists know so much what isn't so and may be indoctrinated on many distorted outlooks which had led to the rise of cancel culture or victim mentality where entitled feelings are the ultimate driving force.

These are entitled enablers of social division that incite rampant violence. There is a strong deviation from reason and moral objectivism. This is a real existential threat that may lead to an imminent downfall to our civilization in the not too distant future.
