As the world ridiculed and laughed at all of the ‘points of privilege’ who attended the party’s March 29 conference in Winnipeg Manitoba, the really laughable fool at the event was Avi Lewis himself, as he and his party continue to advocate the absurdity that is ‘socialism’.<\/p>\n

Citing private enterprise and private profits, Lewis reminded his audience “that this country is awash in wealth. We can have nice things. The money is there! We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

That such glaring envy, greed, and avarice should be seen as something to be admired in a political party leader – along with his outright calls for the theft of private property – is perhaps among the greatest tragedies of today’s political zeitgeist.
\n<\/p>\n

Marxist to its core, everything about the NDP and all parties of the Left is based on what author Isabel Paterson described as the “Marxist language of fools”<\/strong> – the use of words that are meaningless or outright anti-conceptual, such as the term ‘public ownership.’<\/p>\n

‘Public ownership’ is a euphemism for state control. Otherwise, there is no such thing as ‘public’ ownership given that all ‘ownership’ implies exclusive private control and use.<\/strong> The word ‘public’ at best describes access, not ownership. (It is no mere coincidence that above all, Marxism advocates the abolition of private property.)<\/p>\n

Between the rantings of both its leader and followers, Canada’s NDP is entirely based on a litany of absurd and evil concepts, ideas, and ideologies. It would be well to heed the words of French enlightenment writer Voltaire, who warned: “Those who can be made to believe absurdities can be made to commit atrocities.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, too many people on the Right<\/strong> have themselves fallen prey to these absurdities by having either consciously or subconsciously accepted the foolish language of the Left. Consequently they are unable to effectively condemn socialism or morally defend capitalism. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Until more on the Right get their terms and definitions Just Right, our entire political vocabulary will consist of absurdities and anti-concepts that are just Left.<\/p>\n
