1) It is important to realise the depths of internationalism of the Left. The Left was made to be internationalist, had explicitly rejected national boundaries, passions and thoughts in favour of an internationalist underpinning right from its inception. It is a feature of Left.
2) Two points lay in favour of Leftist internationalism. From the earliest days, Left was conceived as an anti-war [war between nations] concept. The Left did not disdain war in its entirety. It just rejected the national concepts, favouring instead a worldwide class struggle.
3) However, the end result was that the Left attracted a large number of peaceniks, who genuinely abhorred war between nations and deplored the waste of it. These were the useful idiots of the Left. For the Left, war was not bad; only targets chosen in war between nations bad.
4) While the peaceniks in the Left marched during WW1 [with candles!] abhorring the uselessness of war, the real Left did not deplore the war. People like Lenin, Munzenberg, etc, were actually delighted with the war starting, and they were utilising it for Leftist benefit.
5) `Let the nations put guns into the hands of the proletariat, the bullets are for the generals' - was the refrain of the real Left. That millions of the proletariat would be killed in fighting their own generals did not bother them at all. They accepted it as necessary.
6) While the peaceniks were pushing for dodging draft, and objecting to WW1 on ethical/principled bases, the Left's only concern was how to get weapons and shoot the generals. They hoped for big casualties on all sides so that the morale would break and soldiers mutiny.
7) But this very anti-nationalist feeling in the real Left meant that they were a group of anti-nationals drawn from every country in Europe and were truly `international anti-nationals'. In practice, this meant two vital things a) they were drawn from every country in Europe.
8) b) since they were anti-national to every country, they collected subsidies from all countries to sabotage the enemy. Thus Lenin was subsidised and transported by the German foreign office with supplies to Finland to start a revolution in Russia, and sign a `defeatist peace.'
9) While Lenin was hobnobbing with the Germans, Liebknecht, Munzenberg and Luxembourg were offered subsidies by UK to break German morale. Sitting in neutral Switzerland/Scandinavia, they controlled a lot of resources, people and propaganda machinery across all of Europe.
10) The end result was that, thanks to the subsidies offered to the Left by the various belligerent countries, the Left was the only one which profited from the war hugely. All belligerent countries saw them as allies against the `enemy', when the Left was enemy of everyone.
11) This also meant a truly `international' Left as can be gauged by the following incident. When Munzenberg was arrested in Switzerland [he kicked up such a ruckus that even neutral Switzerland acted against him], there were demonstrations against it in France, Austria, etc.
12) Further, in their own interest, the Leftists cooperated with each other. They were all traitors to their own countries, and consequently, they developed a solidarity of treason. Further, it was safe to demonstrate against Russia in Germany, in France against Germany, etc.
13) What does all this mean for today? It is important to realise the depth of the Left's internationalism, how it comes about, what is the basis of this, and most importantly, what can be done about this. To combat an enemy, one must understand their strengths and weaknesses.
14) The strengths of the Left are the following.
a) It is truly international, has been so from the earliest days, is a very powerful ideological weapon aimed at nations and civilisations from its earliest days. It is a brotherhood of treason, where traitors' interests converge.
15) b) The resources of the Left are colossal. For over a century, they have utilised every venture, every nation, every business to find funding for their organisation. They have amassed huge resources, and since every nation has enemies, will always find some resources.
16) c) Since the Left is truly an international international, it cannot be combated in any one country. If it is destroyed in one country [this is a very optimistic scenario], they will just flee to another and begin the same destructive work from across the borders.
17) In fact, the above was the experience of the European nations in WW1 and just before. Traitors would just flee to Switzerland, Scandinavia, etc and continue their work from there. Russia, Germany, etc did expend huge resources to combat the Left nationally. They failed.
18) The Left will always align with any anti-national element, no matter how foul. For them, these are useful in bringing down the nation states, and are thus, allies. This, then, is the basis for the Left's love for Islamists. The Islamists are destructive and thus, allies.
19) What, then, can be done to combat the Left? Multiple things.
a) Patriotism, nationalism, and cultural strength are the anathema of the Left. As long as a people is patriotic and culturally strong, they will not destroy their societies and Leftists can be contained.
20) Leftists are international, so anyone who tries to fight the Leftists must also evolve a significant amount of international cooperation. This involves alliances between countries about how to contain the destructive Left. This would weaken the power of the Left.
21) Democracies are uniquely vulnerable to the Left, since they are, by definition, free societies. The Left does not respect it-they just see it as a weakness to be exploited, just as the Islamists do. So, Leftist organisations must be identified and shunned, across nations.
22) Useful idiots are the heart of the Left. These useful idiots give intellectual, social and political [usually because they are genuinely attached to a cause] cover to the real traitors. This is why the Left tries so hard to brainwash people. Deny this by educating people.
23) The habit of funding Leftist organisations to promote mischief in other countries must be shunned. There must be positive and negative inducements for countries/organisations over these treacherous organisations. Those countries/orgs which fund Left must be penalised/shamed.
24) All countries have genuine problems. This is a fact of life. Marginalised sections in all nations will be vulnerable. Their problems must be addressed within the ambit of the nation. Organisations must be responsible nationally. International orgs must be shunned.
25) Educate people across the board how funding the Left is self-destructive. The bulk of the money for Left comes from non-Left, because Left pitches their causes attractively. Point out that what the Left is doing to other countries will be done at home too by their comrades.
26) Civilisational responses and alliances are necessary to weaken the Left. The Islamist-Leftist alliance is here to stay. They are made for each other, since they both desire the destruction of the society. We need to coordinate with other civilisations to contain the Left.
27) Finally, it must be realised that the war with the Leftists cannot be completely won. Leftism is an inherent problem in mankind. Treason, sadism, destructive behaviour, etc, are not going to be eradicated-they are part of human nature. But they can be contained, controlled.
