Do Not reject the enemy's ideology wholesale: Seek the truth behind totalitarian-Leftist distortions

A trap devised by the powers of purposive evil is for Christians (and others) to reject the core agenda of evil, the Litmus Tests, outright and in total - and to develop a counter-ideology on that basis. 


This is obvious across the board, and began with economic socialism (the basis of old-style communism and Fabianism) being opposed by "libertarianism". Another example is when feminism is opposed by supposedly traditional demands for the socio-political submission of women as being inferior beings; or an analogous counter-ideology to antiracism. 

This is a trap because all effective Leftism contains some truth - else it would have zero traction and could not motivate support. Therefore if it is wholesale rejected, then some aspect of motivated and inspiring truth will also be rejected - and the consequence must be that the counter-ideology is a significant distortion of Good, that is significantly evil. 

This makes the counter-ideology significantly false and evil; which is evident to any honest person, and is responsible for a sense of revulsion among sincere and honest Christians when it comes to so much that purports to be reactionary and traditionalist. 


The problem is that such distorted and dishonest outright rejection and reaction with respect to Leftist strategies, is pretty much forced upon resistance to Leftism; forced by the demands of rhetoric and the attempt to shape group opinion and action in the public realm. 

There is no nuance in effective politics: when politics is not simple, then it does not work...

The trap is that in politics nuanced resistance is ineffectual; but simple rejection is false, hence evil. 

So much the worse for politics!


And it is vital to grasp that The Left here-and-now owns and dominates the public realm; has leadership of all major social institutions of all kinds. 

The Left therefore structures public discourse and group action on a large scale. To fight Leftism on those battle-grounds, is to to be located exactly where They want You to be. 

When any person or group rejects any Leftist strategy outright in the public realm, be sure that they are either being herded into a cauldron to be annihilated; or else groomed into developing a different kind of evil - to serve the demonic agenda. 


This is why the attempt to meet and defeat the globally hegemonic Leftist Totalitarianism on its own ground is both pragmatically-ineffective and (when believed) spiritually-corrupting.  

If we are to pursue a genuinely Good agenda in opposition to the ruling-evil; we need to be able to set-aside the practicalities of propaganda and public persuasion, and group organization and action; and get things clear in our own minds, as tested against the discernment of our own hearts.

Clarify our understanding, make our own commitment to God and divine creation; and discern the implications for our own actual life, and what we can do via our own life.  


This seems to require a very pure and strong faith in God's creative power: a faith that any truth, any goodness, that we may learn and God recognizes to be valid and helpful... Any such insight can and will be amplified by The Creator to affect "the public" for the better - insofar as the public can positively be affected; done through the developments of ongoing creation.
