Leftists: Caught Between Utopia And Pathology.
[meme and text by Revellati Online]
Leftism, when taken to the extreme, goes beyond the limits of political idealism and enters the realm of psychological dysfunction. According to psychiatrist Lyle H. Rossiter, author of "The Liberal Mind," many behaviors typical of the radical left resemble traits of emotional immaturity: denial of reality, chronic victimhood, and a constant search for a state authority to fulfill all the individual's needs. It's not just about advocating social justice, but about refusing responsibilities and shifting them to the collective, like a child blaming the world for their failures.
Modern leftism constructs narratives where the individual is eternally oppressed, and the State is a secular messiah. Traditional virtues such as effort, discipline, sacrifice, and merit are replaced by emotional slogans, empty promises, and an obsessive war against any structure that resembles order, hierarchy, or identity. It is moralism disguised as altruism but deeply rooted in resentment.
This mindset, instead of emancipating, infantilizes. Instead of holding accountable, it accommodates. It promotes a society where failure is always the system's fault and never a reflection of personal choices. By romanticizing forced equality and demonizing merit, leftism becomes not a project of progress but a sabotage mechanism disguised as virtue.
In the end, the uncomfortable question remains: does the radical leftist fight for a better world, or just for a mirror where their own impotence is justified?
