According to an article by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, published on ZeroHedge, leftists are unable to build their own nation or community because their ideology is based on grievance and destruction, rather than principles and creation. The article suggests that leftists have ample resources and opportunities to create their own utopia, with numerous like-minded politicians, billionaires, and intellectuals at their disposal.
However, despite controlling many institutions, including the media, academia, and government bureaucracies, leftists are unable to succeed in their goals because their ideology is inherently destructive and reliant on blaming others for their problems.
The article argues that leftism is unable to build or inspire, and instead devours itself without an "oppressor" to vilify. This mentality is difficult for non-leftists to understand, but it is a key aspect of the leftist ideology. The article concludes that the presence of common sense and resistance from members of society who refuse to buy into leftist ideology is a major obstacle to the left's goals.
