This is not about Egypt or the Middle East. Arabs are not anti-commerce. They are avid traders and love to negotiate about price and credit.
This is about the vast left wing of American and European life.
Every time I see the word ‘revolutionary’, as in the phrase revolutionary education, revolution in food distribution, revolutionary art, revolutionary politics or revolutionary way to live ….. I know we are dealing with a social self hatred.
What is social self-hatred? It is the leftist view that business and money corrupt individuals and society and lead to some immoral or decadent form of life.
The the term revolutionary as used in this form is an example of social self hatred. What are they overthrowing?
We are today the byproduct of several thousand years of trade and two hundred years of industry. Virtually everything in our lives, housing, transportation, education, media and information sources, nearly all the food (certainly the variety) and most importantly for the lefty revolutionaries, our health and dental care are handed to us by the world of commerce.
Few things would give me greater pleasure than to see all the American revolutionaries move to Cuba or North Vietnam where commerce is minimal. Even in these minimal societies virtually all products and designs are simple copies of the outside commercial world. The old x-ray machines are the product of commerce, money and corporations, not anything lefty Revolutionary.
Let’s put it in the simplest language: every leftists revolutionary society has required an iron curtain to surround the inhabitants. The leftist Revolutionary Dream is not what human beings want or are willing to live with, if they can escape.
