‘Quo vadis, Democrats?’
By J.A. Frascino
The political left spectrum can reasonably be divided into two groups: the bourgeois and the proletariat. The prols generically are a dissatisfied, insecure constituency who perceive themselves to be threatened by environmental circumstances beyond their control. They rail against such as trigger warnings, hate speech, microaggressions, patriarchy, misogyny, bullying, xenophobia, and “greed.” They engage in activism to achieve “social justice” (ie: personal security). Unable to adjust self to society, they turn to the state to adjust society to self via legislative fiat.
The bourgeois element comprises the far left elitist opportunists in the state and deep state, and variable elements in the private sector. Its role is to stoke and perpetuate the level of dissidence in the proletariat, rallying the prols’ allegiance to and dependency upon itself for attainment of safety and security and ultimate control of all society.
In past decades, the left committed itself to anti-establishment rhetoric on issues involving race, gender, and class. Although it likes to take credit for social progress in these areas, much of any progress realized is attributable largely to technical advances and improved standards of living. “Women’s Lib”, for example, has been facilitated more by technologies — the pill, household appliances, one-stop shopping — than by protests and bra burnings, freeing women to pursue careers. Its Congressional record on anti-segregation legislation is not spoken of. Income inequality persists and worsens.
