Leftism: A Religion?

Various thinkers have pointed out that leftism is a kind of religion albeit  not in the strict sense of the word, due to the fact that it does not include, nor claim the existence of, any supernatural being.

There is a deep conviction that leftism is morally right with a capital “R” and has, not only a right, but a duty to impose leftism morality on everyone. Worse, many leftists do not recognize themselves as leftists, nor think their system of beliefs, as ‘leftism’.  Because we, on the whole, don’t know of any better words to designate the spectrum of related creeds including: feminism, gay rights, political correctness… etc, movements that primarily have a strong affinity with the old left.

Junk food? Then while the fight against child abuse was good, it now has become, that spanking your child has become outlawed. It’s for more control than even “Big Brother” or more, at least, than you could bargain for; this is Socialism...read more in the book.
