When the Left began to anchor legitimacy on their own virtue the collapse was inevitable. Previous generations who axiomatically knew "that all men are sinners" understood that legitimacy had to be based on justice, external fact and natural law. All else would break.
This acknowledgement of external reality and a moral authority ruling even kings characterized Western civilization. But the totalitarianisms of the 20th century brooked no superior to the Party, but the Party proved as sinful as the masses, nay, more sinful.
They replaced the external God, if one allows the term, with the god-men of celebritihood. We haven't stopped laughing since.
