This has to end. Leftism needs to be relegated to the ash heap of history with Communism, socialism, and fascism. Charlie Kirk was killed because he was making strides towards doing just that. We have to continue on with that and do it as he did it, though learning, discipline, and conviction. While the other side embraces violence, we must embrace reason and faith.

The Subjective Morality of the Left
When the idea of the class struggle did not catch on in the West, the Marxists sought out other differences between groups to shoehorned into the oppressor vs. oppressed dichotomy. To that end, the cultural Marxists have sought out every conceivable way in which groups of people can be divided against themselves. Their strategy is literally divide and conquer.
The Immorality of Cultural Marxism
An offshoot of the original Marxist ideology is known as Cultural Marxism. Where pure, classical Marxism deals with a struggle between the capitalist and working classes, this expanded form of Marxism seeks to pit other groups against each other in an oppressor vs. oppressed dynamic. These groups which cultural Marxists (read Leftists) pit against include, but are not limited to rich vs. poor, black, vs, white, minority vs majority, gay vs. straight, men vs. women, and so on.
Ayn Rand on the Rights of Man
When we base rights on what is good for society, that begs the question: Who speaks for society? Throughout history, such people who claim to speak for society inevitably turn out to be tyrants. You have a few, even a single person, deciding what is good for the people. Rand thought that people ought to decide for themselves, based upon rational self-interest.
