Ryan points out a Quote from the Communist Manifesto
I suspect their talk of “entryists” is a shot at me, given my post here. But then I identity with what I would call the “Realist Left,” which would be very close to, but not the same as, the Alt Left.
And, for the record, I said that I accept that Robert Lindsay is the founder of the Alt Left and has a legitimate place in it. The controversial point is this: Robert Lindsay is a race realist and there are some people on the Alt Left who feel that the evidence really does show that there are real racial differences in things like average IQ.
Personally, I do not deny that race is a real biological concept. But I still defend the environmental position on phenotypic group IQ gaps and the importance of the Flynn effect, and I still think it is a bad mistake for any Alt Left movement to get bogged down into obsessive debates about race.
And, even if race realism were true, none of the laissez faire economic policies proposed by libertarians or other Alt Right policies would follow. Instead, a humane policy I have proposed here would be a better solution.
I also have question for the blogger called “Rabbit”. Does “Rabbit” advocate fascism? He has said in a post here that “A ‘fascism’ minus the sexual puritanism, regressive traditionalism and aggressive imperialism would be okay by me.” It sounds to me, just as I said here, that Rabbit belongs on the Alt Right, which is surely the natural home of fascism.
Finally, I liked the discussion on how a lot of the Old Left was opposed to mass immigration. The modern left has forgotten this, and it is surely one of the worst mistakes of the modern left.
