THE FASCIST LEFT

YET again, Thomas Sowell states things clearly:

"Most people on the Left are not opposed to freedom. They are just in favor of all sorts of things that are incompatible with freedom. Freedom ultimately means the right of other people to do things that you do not approve of. Nazis were free to be Nazis under Hitler. It is only when you are able to do things that other people don't approve that you are free. ...[P]eople on the Left want the right to impose their idea of what is good for society on others -- a right that they vehemently deny to those whose idea of what is good for society differs from their own. The essence of bigotry is refusing to others the rights that you demand for yourself. Such bigotry is inherently incompatible with freedom, even though many on the Left would be shocked to be considered opposed to freedom." --Hoover Institution economist Thomas Sowell
