"The Left is not weak; The left is wrong"

John Spritzler declared recently, "The Left is not weak; The left is wrong."

This truism struck a chord for me. I have felt for a long time that the left, or should we say the opposition to the concentration of capital and the rule by banks and IT firms, is not successful and that it is NOT because it is weak, but rather because it is wrong.

That is to say that the opposition offers inaccurate or incomplete explanations for what is happening and it refuses to address the true state of affairs. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the attempts of the opposition, whether it calls itself progressive, liberal, leftist, socialist, or truth teller, to condemn mistaken foreign policy and domestic policy, while remaining silent about state crimes. If you cannot talk about the acts of horrific corruption and violence that have rendered the United States as a police state, if you cannot address the 9/11 incident, the Covid reign of terror, or the numerous false-flag attacks and the extensive employment of SAP (special access programs) to oppress citizens at the local level using extra-legal means, well then, the left’s complaints about US policy towards Ukraine, Israel, or China are going to be very limited. Many will not take those critiques of the left seriously. That is not because the left is weak, but rather because ultimately it is not serious.
