I have an example of how the Left tried to “ride the tiger” in an alliance with the Ummah, and got their clock cleaned in the process. This is not made up shit, it really happened and there is plenty of documentation of its veracity.

The Iranian Revolution. The Communists, Socialists, and various other kinds of Leftists sided with the Islamists in 1979. When the dust settled, the Ummah turned on the Left in Iran and started killing them and driving the rest into exile. I’ve met dozens of these people, and they will tell anyone who will listen that this filthy, evil alliance of convenience between the Left and the Muslims is only going to end badly for the Leftists. And in Britain, the Left’s stupidity and sloth will get a lot of people killed. And destroy the nation. But then again, that’s been the Left’s goal all along: to destroy Western civilization and replace it with hedonistic, nihilistic, physicalist reductionism.
