I'm reminded of this George Orwell quote

As I read this article about how the left justifies its violence.

These ideas aren’t merely the gibbering of angry radicals. They have deep roots in leftist academic theory. In 1969, for instance, the Norwegian founder of “peace and conflict studies,” Johan Galtung, published an oft-cited piece titled Violence, Peace, and Peace Research, dedicated to the topic of “structural violence.” “When one husband beats his wife there is a clear case of personal violence,” he offered by way of example. “But when one million husbands keep one million wives in ignorance, there is structural violence.”

Go read the whole thing, where the author traces the origins of the tangled thinking that oozes from the Left, like pus from an infected genital sore.

Oh, and the Orwell quote?

“There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
