Imagine if Donald Trump, David Cameron,
or Nigel Farage were to speak at a Fascist event in which portraits of Adolf
Hitler were lovingly marched through the streets. Imagine the outrage.
Let’s flip it – and we don’t have to imagine. British Labour Leader
Jeremy Corbyn spoke at a May Day event in which portraits of Stalin were
lovingly marched through the streets.
No, there was not much outrage.
This is part of the double standard in
the West. If anyone has any
verifiable background of pro-Hitler sympathies, he is rightly drummed out of
public life (if he isn’t Muslim, that is). But any number of people with radical Left sympathies get a
free pass. And that when the
radical Left is a far bigger threat to Western freedom than the fascist Right
and has been for decades.
But if someone seeks to expose radical
Left backgrounds, he is denounced as a McCarthyite or a bigot or the like. This while those who hunt very old and
inactive Nazis are lionized. And,
yes, Nazi hunters deserve praise for helping bring genocidal criminals to
justice. But where is the zeal in
going after the criminals of the Mao, Pol Pot, or any number of murderous
Communist regimes?
As horrific as the Hitler regime was, Communists,
Socialists if you will, have killed many more people and done more harm than
the Nazis ever did.
It is past time we acted like it and
treated those aligned with the radical Left with the same contempt and
ostracism we do those aligned with Nazis and neo-Nazis.
