Leftism has no essence, except an endless campaign against the next applecart. When it runs up against an obstacle, it is apt to instantly discard its latest high ideals, write them out of history or deem them extreme radical right, and adopt some new high ideals.
Socialism stopped 1949. Replaced by ever more extreme regulation and direct redistribution, which redistribution had the effect of redistributing wealth directly to the state, and redistributing ownership of capital to vast Dilbertesque quasi state corporations.
Reagan and Thatcher stopped this, re-enabling capitalism while allowing the left continue full speed ahead on the destruction of the family and mass importation of the third world to white countries. And now here we are.
Right now, the left is still tightly focused on the destruction of the family and mass importation of the third world to white countries, but a significant faction of the left wants to return to an “anti oligarch” strategy, of redistributing ownership and control of capital to vast Dilbertesque quasi state corporations, as for example the California law aimed at destroying the power of entrepreneurs in business by a confiscatory wealth tax against entrepreneurs in favor of passive owners like Blackwater, and the British law against private ownership of rental properties. They have created a regulatory framework which is not only expensive to comply with, but literally impossible to comply with for individual entrepreneurs, notably the California regulation on gasoline, which pretends to enforce the reasonable requirement of leak resistant fuel tanks for gas stations, but makes it impossible for individually owned gas stations to install fuel tanks that could be deemed leak resistant, no matter how much money and skill they apply to the task in California, and similarly, impossible for individual owners of rental accommodation in Britain, while building and zoning laws make it impossible for people to build individual housing for themselves.
My bread and butter used to be startups, but Sox killed startups.
If the left is defeated on mass migration and transitioning your children, their regroup strategy is to be “anti oligarch” — which will be primarily directed at such mighty oligarchs as independent truckers, who have just been banned in California.
The left will die if prevented from getting ever lefter, but we see in process an effort to switch from mass migration and family destruction, back to the destruction of capitalism, by reserving ownership and control of capital to a few vast Dilbertesque quasi state corporations: “You will own nothing and be happy”. And should you indicate lack of happiness, you will be punished.
The strategy is aimed at suppressing entrepreneurial capitalism in favor of managerial “capitalism”, tightly integrated with the managerial state — thus the the truckers, independent gas stations, and the tech lords were similarly attack in California.
The left is always led by the leftmost, and right now the leftmost are still trannies and welfare fraudsters, but the anti oligarch faction wants to be redefine leftism again so that they will once again be the leftmost. They want you to own nothing and eat bugs.
