Fascism and anti-Semitism: ideologies that the left categorically refuses to see come from... the far left

 

"No to Fascism"? I agree, but with a slight smile, because fascism is clearly not where it's said to be. Faced with the organization of violence, anti-Semitism, this revolutionary desire to destroy order developed by La France Insoumise and its Green allies, faced with their silence when Jewish children's throats are slit, pregnant women disemboweled, babies cooked, young girls raped by Hamas...and when we see the rabbit-skinned socialists, reformists and social democrats running the gauntlet with them, the difficult ones, not to think of Molière's Tartuffe: "Cover up this fascism and anti-Semitism that I cannot see, by such an object, the beautiful socialist souls are wounded".

It's a strange spectacle, given that, before the war, no democrat was unaware that Fascism and National Socialism were born of the revolutionary socialist left, not of the monarchist and conservative far right.

And that they are associated with a new kind of anti-Semitism, revolutionary and destructive, infinitely more radical than that of the conservative far right. But perhaps the spectacle on offer signals that the time has come to put an end to the falsification of history orchestrated in the post-war period, right up to the deception of the "Dreyfus Affair", which imposed the figure of the "left-wing intellectual", the giver of moral lessons, who imagines fascists everywhere, unable to see the beam in his own eye.

Before getting to the heart of this daring subject, please note that I wouldn't want the "left-wing intellectuals" - so powerful in the universities and the media, even if they no longer represent anything in the country - to feel annoyed at what follows.

Yes, I assure them that I've always admired the sketch about the last great model of a "left-wing intellectual", that of Jean-Paul Sartre. Resident in Berlin from the summer of 1933 to the summer of 1934, at the age of 29, the famous Jean-Paul drank his beer in the cafés of this city without ever having had a word to say about the torture, assassinations, suppression of civil liberties, creation of the Gestapo, autodafés, tracking down of opponents, dismissal of hundreds of academics, violence against Jews that was taking place before his very eyes.

I'm sure this proves his greatness as a leftist. Besides, in his defense, having, in 1943, been given the opportunity to perform "Les Mouches", by a Gestapo who had clearly understood that the "flies" to be chased out of town were the Jews, he didn't have much time to take an interest in these "details". And, after the war, neither did he: with the "left-wing intellectuals", he had to devote himself to giving moral lessons against capitalism, the bourgeoisie and liberal democracies, boldly supporting Stalin and his gulag  Mao Zedong and his Red Guards, the Palestinian terrorists and the Castro totalitarian system, where so many other beautiful left-wing souls knew how to enjoy the samba that pleasantly drowned out the cries of thousands of tortured priests and intellectuals, and those of tens of thousands of "counter-revolutionary" children, women and old men, drowned in the sea, their boats carefully sunk by "comrades" who didn't want them to flee their socialist paradise. In short, I would like to express my admiration for the "left-wing intellectuals" who would have to be invented if they didn't exist.
