Welcome Home Liberals in your #WalkAway from the Socialist-Left.

There is a new movement of Liberals leaving the Left, we on the Pro-Liberty Right need to welcome them home to where they belong.

#WalkAway is a new burgeoning movement of Liberals leaving the Socialist-Left that is being virtually ignored by the nation’s hopelessly biased Leftist media. Although it isn’t exactly a new phenomena that those who believe in “maximum individual freedom, open-hearted tolerance and a commitment to the truth” are abandoning the socialists with a whole slew of videos of people leaving the Left.  Now with the it’s headlong rush to go full socialist, many who cherish those freedoms have had enough, coincidently this is in agreement with a poll that shows that Voters Overwhelmingly Prefer Free Market to Socialism

True Liberals believe in individual freedom, tolerance and a commitment to the truth.

Andrew Klavan of The Daily Wire had a very insightful commentary, making the point that Liberals – persons such as himself, who believe in “maximum individual freedom, open-hearted tolerance and a commitment to the truth” have begun walking away from the Left and it’s belief in socialism – the opposite of liberty. He goes on to postulate that Leftists should have an equivalent movement to reject freedom and expand government power. His satirical video of the 5 reasons that Leftists should stay with their socialist movement is well worth perusing at your leisure.

It’s been a staple of political discourse that the nation’s Left has been a bit schizophrenic with some of its adherents openly embracing their collectivist ‘faith’. While others deny the obvious reality of their base ideology. Even some of the definitions of one their more deceptive labels are contradictory with traditional parts on individual liberties contrasted with this: “a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities”. How that is done while conserving individual Liberty is not explained.

Leftist language mendacity.

It is another staple of the political discourse of the Socialist-Left to exploit the words of freedom to deceive the populace into supporting their national agenda. One of the Left’s favorite deceptions is the use of ‘Democratic’ pared with the current label of their collectivist ‘faith’ – socialism.

The Left of the modern-day political spectrum has always been one of ever-increasing government power. The end point of their journey is the destruction of freedom with full authoritarian collectivism. Contrast this with the Right standing for limited government conserving Liberty along with the preservation of civil rights.

Liberty or Liberalism are functionally incompatible with Socialism .

History has shown that Liberty dies in the end state of Leftism. Freedom has never survived in the bastions of socialist authoritarianism. Even the most ardent Leftist doesn’t ever try to explain the natural ‘progression’ of how their ideology can morph into its end state without becoming oppressive. One only needs to look at the old Soviet Socialist ‘Republics’, Communist North Korea or even Venezuela to see that as Leftism wraps it’s iron grip around a people it’s also a stranglehold on Liberty.

The best explanation Leftists can offer for this ‘progressive’ change into a dictatorship [that may or may-not be of the ‘proletariat’] is some sort of red herring distraction that normal government services are somehow socialist or that free nations are of some ‘mixed economy’ of some sort. This somehow supposedly ‘proves’ that oppressive regimes aren’t oppressive or something.

Topping this is the even more absurd excuse for the usual terminal condition of the Left’s base ideology is the even more preposterous contention that these dead-end socialist regimes are, somehow ‘far right’. Or there is the fallacy that these oppressive regimes weren’t really socialist in the first place but really of the contradictory phrase ‘state capitalism’.

It should be readily apparent that the Left’s collectivist base ideology means the death of individual freedom, tolerance and truth. Those who value these principles – true Liberals – belong on the right side of the political spectrum. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that Liberalism and Liberty are functionally incompatible with the basic tenets of the Left’s collectivist base ideology

Welcome Home Liberals.

Therefore, with all of this being said, several points should be clear to everyone.

1. Liberalism is closely tied to Liberty – being “Favourable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms”.
2. The base ideology of the Left is completely at odds to the cause of liberty.
3. True Liberals belong on the Pro-Liberty Right.

So, given this logical progression we of the Pro-Liberty Right should be welcoming our brethren in Liberty fleeing the Socialist-Left. It is time that we all recognize that the root word of Liberty and Liberal means that those who believe in freedom, tolerance and a commitment to the truth all belong in a big tent on the right side of the political spectrum. Granted, we all might quibble over triflings here or there, the larger point is that we all must unite to defeat – once and for all – a common collectivist foe.

The Takeaway.

We should be greeting those Liberals walking away from the Socialist-Left as the allies in Liberty. They truly belong with those on the political right who value freedom. An ever shrinking cadre of Leftists demanding the dead-end of socialism and the conservation of Liberty will be the result.
