So said the Green MP Ricardo Menendez March about himself in Parliament the other day when rising to speak about a bill.

As DPF archly noted on his Kiwiblog, you can bet your bottom dollar that the MSM will refuse to term him as “Far Left” in the way they term ACT or even Winston as “Far Right”.

I can think of other terms for him, such as a pampered, spoiled brat produced of the very class he so despises, the petite bourgeoisie. Or how about just “grifter”, enjoying a well-paid life of perks and no responsibilities in a nation he’s never contributed a damned thing to, outside of his precious presence among we little proles. Or perhaps something else, given enough power in his hands:

“He’s a monster. Pure psychopath. So rare to capture one alive.”

Communists, especially ones who are up-front and in-your-face about it, certainly are rare in Western politics, and especially in NZ, generally preferring to hide behind other labels and causes in obscure places. Same with the “Green Party” who care about the environment but who just accidentally seem to draw broken-down hack Marxists to themselves, not least as MP’s: how many is that now in the history of the party? A few of their supporters have claimed that the Greens were done with Marxism in the wake of the departure of the likes of Sue Bradford (Maoist) and Keith Locke (Sovietist). Nothing new in their propaganda world of course.

In that KB post thread was this excellent analysis of what’s going on here with the modern Marxists, by one “Colinxy”:

It depends on which definition of Marxism. It’s entirely possible for older forms of Marxism to be considered right wing by newer versions of the Marxian faith.

Proto Marxism is Hegelian. It was Hegel who came up with the operating system of all Marxist religions: Abstract plus its Negation through struggle becomes Concrete (or to use Kant’s language Thesis plus its Antithesis through struggle becomes Synthesis). The resulting Concrete becomes the new Abstract and so the dialectic progresses.

Under Marx, the dialectic or operating system always revolves Left. Those who don’t revolve are considered “Right wing” by the new turn. The most blatant example being TERF feminists even if they themselves consider themselves Marxists. This revolving is called Revolution, a key religious word to that religion.”

This concept was elaborated at by Herbert Marcuse but made concrete by Paulo Friere – there must be permanent revolution as the status quo is “Right wing”.

Killing millions isn’t a bug but a feature. As Hegel explained history uses people and then discards them. If you know your Marxian religion, you know history is sacred. An example of which is “being on the right or wrong side of history”.

Marxists are always extremely negative. It’s a requisite of their religion. It’s the Negation portion of the dialectic. Max Horkheimer, the inventor of Critical Theory, states that through endless criticism the utopia (at the end of history) will be realised.

It is also this Critical Theory that has embedded itself in our education system. Blatantly with Critical Mathematics and Critical Literacy. This Critical Pedagogy, the invention of Paulo Friere, is to create more Marxists. (Critical Theory is the superset of all Critical Theories like Critical Pedagogy, Critical Race Theory ad nauseum.)

The more intelligent Marxists will run to Hegel when Marx is successfully attacked. Also interesting is this also makes Fascists and National Socialists their co-religionists since their root is Hegel too.
