The Left’s Trifecta attack on America
The Left’s undermining of three critical institutions:
Property rights.
Property rights are an essential component in a free a prosperous society that is based on individual liberty. Without protection of property rights and respect for contracts, entrepreneurs would not take the risks to create products and services. Basically it would reduce an economy to subsistence level where everyone is poor.
The left does not believe in property rights as it sees them as a tool of white oppression and supremacy. They believe in government control of the means of production as the ultimate answer. In the meantime they hope to destroy capitalists economies by massive government spending in order get most people dependent on government (I.e., wealth redistribution and monetary inflation).
Equality before the Law.
Another feature of a free and prosperous society is ‘equality before the law’. Based on the enlightenment principles of natural rights, ‘equality before the law’ requires that every citizen be treated equally before the law regardless of their race, social standing, or wealth status. This is what “Equality” means within the United States constitutional framework. Fair trials must be based on evidence to ensure justice and “due process”.
“Equality” for the Left means everyone has an ‘equality” of outcome. The Left believes that disparate outcomes can only mean some “injustice” has occurred. In recent years they have replaced this notion with “equity” which requires that members of an oppressed group are given special privileges and exemptions based on past injustices and perceived “microaggressions” against them. For ‘equity” to be met persons belonging to the stated oppressor group, the whites must pay penance and reparation. For the left, there is no “due process” and no evidence is required in an accusation to prove guilt. It is enough to have someone from an “oppressed group” to accuse someone from an oppressor group (I.e., a white male) to be found guilty.
Meritocracy.
Meritocracy is simply the demonstration of skill and ability to achieve a result.
The left rejects this outright because it leads to disparate outcomes. Yet reality shows us that some people are better than others at certain things. This is simply a law of nature that come from a variety of different natural abilities including one’s dedication to work and discipline. However, the left believes that any disparate outcomes are due to some sort of social injustice perpetrated by the “dominant white ruling class”. Therefore, they reject meritocracy outright. They believe in rewarding positions of achievement and power solely based on identity, in particular, one belonging to an oppressed group. Only this way can they achieve their goal of “equity”.
The Left doesn’t care that they have trashed the American principle of equality before the law. They want reparation and payback for what they perceive to be past injustices done to minority groups. While past injustices have been perpetrated, primarily through slavery, and government mandated discriminatory “Jim Crow” laws, America has made phenomenal progress since the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s. In fact, historically America is the most successful country in history to incorporate, peacefully, a wide range of peoples of differing race, religion and ethnicity from around the world.
A focus on grievance and advancement based on one’s status in a so-called “oppressed group’ will result in a disastrous outcome for the nation. Only through meritocracy can we allocate talent and resources to its best deployment and ensure a flourishing economy and society.
