The Left’s Use of Human Guilt as a Political Weapon

A function of Christianity was to deal with the problem of human guilt. From a bio-psychiatric perspective, neurotic guilt arises from the perception of destructive emotions held in people’s muscular armor. Christianity’s solution was the central tenet: Christ died for your sins. In belief in Christ the savior and in the practice of confession of one’s sins to a Catholic priest, people were temporarily relieved of their chronic sense of guilt by having their emotions anchored on their faith in Christ, the Redeemer.

With the current breakdown of Christianity’s influence worldwide and the anti-authoritarian transformation of Western civilization’s social order, people’s armor has shifted from the musculature to the ocular segment. As a result, their guilt becomes manifested as free-floating anxiety and it can easily be turned into a major political force with destructive consequences. Enter leftist political ideologues and revisionist historians with their obsession to rewrite America’s history. People’s unresolved feelings of guilt are being manipulated by these ideologists to blame present-day Americans for their ancestor’s past sins, i.e. the practice of slavery. This ploy functions as a political weapon and a blatant emotional plague attack on the living designed to destroy the American nation.

The Two-party System is a Thing of the Past

The two-party system was part and parcel of the past authoritarian social order. Both parties were united in their feelings of loyalty to America and in support of the principles that their nation was founded on. They functioned in a relationship of attractive opposition.

With the anti-authoritarian transformation of American Society and the shift to the political left of the social mainstream that began around 1960, the Democratic Party became infiltrated by the far-left. This event ended the two-party system of the past because the functional relationship between the members of the party’s gradually turned into one of antagonistic opposition. The infiltration of leftist ideology undermined the positive relationship that members of both parties once had for each other because they no longer had in common their loyalty to America and to the principles that their nation stood for. Today, the final destruction of the two-party system is taking place as dissatisfied members of the Republican Party are shifting over to the Democratic side for the first time in history.

The social and political forces that once held American Society together in a relationship of attractive opposition uniting all people as one nation no longer exists. In its place are the day-to-day destructive conflicts between Americans based on diametrically opposed social and political ideologies. What is happening is that America as a nation – the baby – is being thrown out with the bath water – irreconcilable political ideologies.

The Misfired Function of Protests and Demonstrations

The function of public protests and demonstrations are people’s mystical expressions of their personal longings for a better life in today’s world. And the political left, freedom peddler is there ready to promise them that they will take care of them and make their wish come true. This is the pathological, highly destructive dynamic of the social relationship that is now being played out in America and the rest of the “free world.” Like sheep being led to the slaughter, the clueless public and many in government are playing directly into the hands of the Devil, the emotional plague.

Protests and demonstrations are symptoms of armored people’s helplessness and their inability to take advantage of the enormous opportunities that are still available to them to work for a better life for themselves and to fulfill their dreams.

In today’s anti-authoritarian society there are no longer genuine authorities such as parents and educators to guide young people because the authorities have given up their responsibilities to direct and teach. There are no longer the police to maintain social order so that people can run their lives in peace. Instead, the authorities have given in to young people’s hate-based, demands and have perversely accepted responsibility for their personal problems. By doing so, they have entered into a sadomasochistic relationship with sadistic, anti-authoritarian ideologues on the political left. The consequences of this pathological relationship is chaos with the political forces of the Left and the Right ending up battling each other while the functions of the family and of the government are being destroyed in front of everyone’s eyes.

Telltale Signs Of Leftist Ideologues

No matter how well they try to conceal their true identity behind a facade of “objectivity”, no matter how well they rationalize their arguments, no matter how hard they try to hide their contempt for the “unenlightened,” leftist ideologues have one characteristic in common that always gives them away: They believe in the perfectibility of human beings.  Based on this belief, they are constantly driven to seek change through political action to solve people’s social problems.  This characteristic  of leftists identifies them as “progressives” and originates from a specific feature in their socio-political character structure: They all function from their superficial layer or facade and their destructive middle layer.  From the superficial  layer comes their idealism and their unshakable view that people are perfectible through political intervention. From their destructive middle layer comes their “case” for political action. From these preconceptions the ideologues believe that they are the chosen ones most qualified to improve people’s lives through their socialistic programs.  All others who are opposed to their belief system become collectively associated with the Right. Thus, the ideological battle that takes place between the Left and the Right comes down to those who want to “fix” people and those who are able to see that the methods of the left simply do not work.

Now, it is true that especially as a result of the breakdown of the authoritarian social order society is in trouble and in dire need of help.  However, these leftist ideologues are not the ones who are capable of improving social conditions because they have little or no understanding of  the biologically rooted emotional forces that play the decisive role in determining human social behavior, healthy as well as pathological.  In fact, the Leftists  are more likely than not to make matters worse with their ” solutions.”  These solutions are always basically the same: Change the surface manifestation of social problems and ignore their underlying biological basis.  The result of this symptomatic approach is that social conditions continue to worsen as they spread to and become embedded in deeper layers of social armor.

How The Left And The Right View Americans

In today’s divisive political atmosphere, there is a central irreconcilable difference in the thinking of the left and right as to how they view the American people.  Leftist ideologues (pseudo-liberal/communists) live entirely from their superficial layer or facade.  They, therefore, advocate multiculturalism and stress the superficial differences of American people as Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Muslims and so on.  They also emphasize class differences based on people’s poverty level (the “rich”, the “disadvantaged”) whenever possible.  From a functional perspective, these racist and separatist tactics have a destructive  effect on the social fabric by further polarizing and alienating Americans against each other and by doing so they also mobilize the targeted group to vote for the Leftists who are in power in the upcoming presidential election.  The is a political strategy that has the consequence of weakening and ultimately destroying America as a nation as it was before.  Lenin understood that before a communist takeover could occur in a country people first had to be mobilized through political and social activism.  This is exactly how, in the name of progress, today’s leftist ideologues are imperceptibly carrying out their political agenda for America.

By contrast, those on the Right of center have varying degrees of contact with the biological core.  They view America as a melting pot and regard all of its citizens similarly as Americans first and foremost; as Black Americans, White Americans, Hispanic Americans, Muslim Americans and so on.  They view America as an “equal opportunity” country where all Americans regardless of their background and circumstances can satisfy their core needs if they are willing to work for it.  This is a positive, tolerant and inclusive view of people that has the effect of preserving the integrity of American democracy.
