Forty years ago the South Bronx was a zoo of criminal activity. Today it is a livable area where there is a semblance of safety, though nothing Middle America would find acceptable. Why, you may well ask? The bad folks are in jail. Tough law enforcement led to improved real estate values that led to working people who are able to raise their families without leaving the ‘hood’.
The Left does not take the one route that would permit its vision to hatch. They insist upon believing that everyone is good, so jail is a waste of time and humanity. The Left needs to adopt the vision of a middle-class small town in the mid-West in order to achieve its goals. In this sense, its rejection of Israel is the most twisted path it could take, since Israel’s ability to integrate ‘others’ is superior to that of the surrounding countries.
Values are a subset of all ideas. Some ideas are simply better than others. That is a critical error in thinking from which the Left cannot recover.
