Greta Thunberg: A Living Explanation of the Left

It is not easy to understand what the left -- as opposed to liberals -- stands for. If you ask a Christian what to read to learn the basics of Christianity, you will be told the Bible. If you ask a (religious) Jew, you will be told the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. If you ask a Mormon, you will be told the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Ask a Muslim and you will be told the Quran.

But if you ask a leftist what one or two books you should read to understand leftism, every leftist will give you a different answer -- or need some time to think it over. Few, if any, will suggest Marx's "Das Kapital" because almost no leftists have read it and because you will either not finish the book or reject it as incoherent.

So, then, how is one to understand what leftism stands for?

Karl Marx was the son of a Rabbi who embraced the Talmud. Communism has its roots in elitist Judaism or the belief that a select few are destined to rule over the whole earth.

Christians don’t seem to understand the communist agenda.

You people are confused because you refuse to believe that there is actually a diversity of thought on most issues and we should all be free to not conform to a single line of party thinking. This actually allows one to seriously question the partisan narratives that are spread by those in power in order to search for the truth and come with the best solution. Sadly too many of you would rather just regurgitate whatever it is they told you a good Rep should believe.

In the article the from Greta Thunberg makes about as much sense as any answer to questions put to Nancy Pelosi! I can understand the bagel from a baby better than what either Pelosi or Thunberg have to say!

She has been offered a really good movie role that's sort of like a teenage Bonnie and Clyde.

And that's what it's all about! Just like the Hokey Pokey. Trying to become famous and rich with movies, books, talk shows, etc . The parents are to blame for allowing these brats to run the show.

"Belief" is the key word there

The parents are encouraging it thinking they will get some of the donations and potential grant money
