re: I’ll say it again. The New Left is pure evil.

The old left was pure evil too.

"The left" in essence is the revealed preference by some humans for disorder. It may be couched in terms of liberty, but the never-ending crusade against hierarchy, tradition, and inequality always leads to disorder.

Joseph de Maistre wrote about how disorder, in the context of the anarchy during the Reign of Terror, is itself evil and has no meaningful distinction from malevolent evil as it is traditionally understood. Your society crumbling into flames and famine because of liberals dissolving the social guard rails is really no different than Hitler gassing you and your family. The result is the same, but widespread disorder tends to kill more people.

I don't believe liberals see it this way. It's why Hitler is the ultimate evil and Lenin somehow gets a pass. If the intentions are noble enough then the casualties are acceptable.
