Quoted By:
Perhaps the most renowned and in-depth psychological analysis of Leftism to date comes via the 130-year-old works of one of the World’s most misunderstood and misappropriated philosophers: Friedrich Nietzsche. Although Nietzsche does not explicitly name the Leftists, the ‘Slave Moralist’ archetype — as described throughout the entirety of Nietzsche’s bibliography from ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ onwards — bears all of the identifiable hallmarks of Leftism. From moral framework to psychology, to physical type; every characteristic that Nietzsche attributes to the Slave Moralist is analogous to the archetypal Leftist, both of our current age and throughout history.
[See: Nietzsche’s bibliography from 1886 onwards].
[They] dared to invert the aristocratic value equations, good = noble = beautiful = happy = favored-of-the-gods and maintain, with the furious hatred of the underprivileged and impotent, that “only the poor, the powerless, are good; only the suffering, sick and ugly, truly blessed. But you, noble and mighty ones of earth will be, to all eternity, the evil, the cruel, the avaricious, the godless, and thus the cursed and the damned!”
—
They do not call themselves the weak, they call themselves the “good.”
