“The Left is the Mr. Hyde of Western civilization, and as such probably ineradicable for as long as the civilization itself exists.”

I prefer to think of “The Left” as entropy. The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that we always get entropy as a by-product of producing useful work. Western civilization has made enormous social progress in the last two centuries. Unfortunately the unwanted by-product of that social progress as been The Left.

If you want The Left to go away then you must end social progress. Obviously the price is too high so we are brought to Wretchard’s conclusion:

“There’s no use railing against it. All that anyone can do is make allowances for their inevitable input.”

Key point: Permit The Left shriek to their heart’s content (allow them to dissipate like waste heat) but never willingly grant them political power.
