OPINION:
In recent times, many radical leftists have pretended to be paragons of virtue. They have condemned practices and policies of history (some of which were indeed despicable) and presented themselves as morally superior for having done so. I view this with disdain. The generations which preceded these self-anointed philosopher monarchs had to deal with evil: Slavery, Fascism, Communism and more. But what stikes me, an interested observer, the most is that these radicals have failed to condemn the epidemic of out-of-wedlock birth rates, the refusal of many elements to accept individual accountability (victimhood and a society-owes-me mentality), and the ruination of the nuclear family.
As coarse as some of their rhetoric is, those who oppose the radical left are justified in their disdain. The radical leftists are not dealing in the present human condition. Their lack of actions is far more boisterous than their rhetoric.
