The social justice movement - all the inclusiveness of the KKK, all the tolerance of the Soviet Communist Party, all the pacifism of the Red Brigades.

From Glenn Reynolds.

RYSZARD LEGUTKO on his new book, The Demons In Democracy. “The book is about how liberal democracy tends to develop the qualities that were characteristic of communism: pervasive politicization, ideological zeal, aggressive social engineering, vulgarity, a belief in inevitability of progress, destruction of family, the omnipresent rule of ideological correctness, severe restriction of intellectual inquiry, etc. All of these I remember from my young days in communism, and all these I have been observing, with a growing sense of alarm, in today’s liberal democracy. In the heyday of the communist rule it was customary that the communist students disrupted the lectures of old ‘bourgeois’ professors, accusing them of having reactionary views, of trying to corrupt the young minds with idealist philosophy, and of being at the service of imperialist forces.”

Legutko's comment sparks the thought: The Social Justice/Critical Theory?Postmodernists have been racking up a lot of observed behaviors. They are anti-Catholic (Kavanaugh and the Covington school boys), they are anti-semitic (Omar, Tlaib, et al.), they are racist (group identity obsession and group identity preferences), they are intolerant (Twitter mobs, doxxing, etc.), and they are violent (Antifa.)

Given that, it might be fair to summarize:

The social justice movement - all the inclusiveness of the KKK, all the tolerance of the Soviet Communist Party, all the pacifism of the Red Brigades.
