Aha, I see where I may have misled you. Using the word "leftists" in my second paragraph does refer to people, but it wasn't meant to. My mistake. A better choice should have been leftism or statism. I'll be more careful in the future.
See Leonard Peikoff's Teaching Johny to Think: A Philosophy of Education Based on the Principles of Ayn Rand's Objectivism, edited by Marlene Trollope from the original 1985 lecture series Philosophy of Education https://estore.aynrand.org/p/64/philo... and 1984 Ford Hall Forum lecture Why Johny Can't Think. (The original lecture series is better stylistically than the book; the separate Ford Hall lecture is the same as in the book, taken from the published version he did himself for The Objectivist Forum.)
For the intellectual similarities between the US and the rise of fascism in Germany see Leonard Peikoff's book The Ominous Parallels. The book grew out of a series of lectures he gave in the 1970s on the parallels between the New Left violence of the time and Germany of the 1930s that you refer to.
The public that supports tax-funded "education" does not see that and doesn't know what it's about. A lot of people do not support the violent outbursts on campuses, but are torn between that and subsidizing "education" because they don't understand the intellectual battle and don't understand why statist support of education, including their own children's, is wrong and is leading to the violent 'protests'.
Well, I got words to describe those name-callers such as bent, broken, emotionally disturbed, perverse, deranged, idiotic, control freak egotists, fascists in denial who instead call themselves libs if not full blown socialists.
I could go on. Got other stuff to do. .
It's almost as if the leftists and Islam are two crocodiles on the loose devouring their common enemy, which is individual liberty. In the end one would have to devour the other. I wish there was a way to just shoot both of those beasts and get it the hell over with.
Isn't "misogynist" a favored word libs like to use to put their opponents down?
I think the reason normally atheistic leftists always rush to give Islam a pass, regardless of what heinous acts are perpetrated, is because Islam has shown the way on how to convert large swaths of the population into mindlessly obedient slave-like automatons, which is the Mecca of leftist ideology. No pun intended, of course.
So would the same concept expressed as "Worldwide Caliphate" despite that being the end game dream of Muslim clerics.
For some perverse reason, Islam is the only religion the left goes out of its way to coddle, though somehow that reminds old dino of Pentecostal "most don't bite" snake handling.
