A very short list of contradictions of the Leftism

This is a very minuscule sample of the contradictions of the Leftist ideology:

American leftists are in favor of preventing voluntary student praying in schools, but at the same time they demand freedom of religious services to the terrorists kept in the Guantanamo base.

Brazilian leftists today wear the clothes of nationalism, promoting paranoid alarms against a supposed foreign domination, but in the anniversary of 500 years of Brazil, they said it would have been better that the Portuguese had not settled and created Brazil off of the land.

Leftists scream against the tobacco industry but at the same time they want drug liberalization.

While American leftists complain that economic globalization is causing them to lose their jobs to the Third World workers, the Latin American leftists complain that globalization is bad for the workers.

Leftists say that they are humanists, but in a rally of Jews against terror in the Middle East that took place at the San Francisco university, leftists organized a counter-protest and yelled that "Hitler had not finished the job".

The left is against gun owners, but in Latin America, their MST (Brazilian landless movement) and FARC (Colombian drug guerrillas) do carry weapons and, during Brazil's military dictatorship, the leftist guerrillas taught their knowledge to the common criminals in the penitentiary of Ilha Grande, which resulted in today's violence of the PCC (a vast crime organization in Brazil).

The radical environmentalism of the left depicts human beings as a "blight" that harms the planet and they say it would be better if the humans were extinct. At the same time, the left alleges that it defends the same ones they call "blight" with a discourse supposedly in favor of the poor.

Leftists use demagoguery and flattery on the poor, but when a poor person is about to be born, their solution is to kill him/her through abortion.

They are against oil drilling the USA at the same time they don't say absolutely anything against oil drilling just outside the coast of Florida by the Chinese with the consent of the government of the left's favorite prison-island: Cuba. And the leftists do not say anything against oil drilling in other countries, where there are absolutely no concern for the environment.

They are against the so called bourgeois morality (codename for Christian) and favor the sexual liberation, but the sexual liberation, promoted by leftists, was the main cause for women being treated as sexual objects.

Brazilian leftists proposed "ethics in politics" to overthrow president Collor in the 90s, using a theme that was typical of the old middle class Right (it was on that platform that Janio Quadros was elected in the 60s) and it was despised back then by the leftists who used to call it "petty bourgeois moralism".

They allege they defend the freedom of expression against censorship, but when someone expresses ideas contrary to theirs, the leftists try to censor in most despicable ways.

They scream against the Brazilian military dictatorship (mid 60s to early 80s) and the violations of human rights, but at the same time they defend the longest dictatorship of Latin America (Castro) and completely ignore the human rights of the Cubans.

Leftists ignore terrorism and defend Palestinians at the same time they say that they defend homosexuals. But among the Palestinians, gays are persecuted and murdered and have to flee to Israel, the only place in the Middle East where they can live in peace.

The leftists say that they defend women against machismo and preach the liberalization of abortion, but in the communist China, abortion is liberalized and the main target of abortion are girls because Chinese families prefer to have boys.

They say they are against the rich, but the majority of the leftists is in the middle class and upwards.

Leftists have defended Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein. Castro was exposed in the Forbes magazine as the owner of at least $110 million dollars, that is, 10% of Cuba's GDP. Yasser Arafat had more than $300 million dollars, on top of the profits from a casino and a company that bottled soft drinks. Saddam had a minimum of $2 billion dollars before Iraq was liberated.

The socialists consider the state as the ideal agent to realize equality, making all properties belong to the state, which concedes the citizens a very limited control over properties. The communists desire the end of private property so there would be equality (or so they say) but they also preach the end of the state. These are contradictory. The end of private property can only be achieved through the monopoly of the power of coercion and whoever monopolizes the coercion becomes the state de facto.
