The global Left continues to prove itself as a threat in the level of terrorism.

Discussion

In the fall of 1978, Michel Foucault landed in Tehran. The French philosopher, who had built a career on exposing the West’s hidden mechanisms of power, had arrived as an intellectual tourist to write a series of articles for the European press. What he found there made him ecstatic. He saw a crowd screaming for a return to the Middle Ages, and he said: “This is fascinating, this is a rupture in Western rationality.”

Instead of saying “Oh my god, I’d better get out of here before they hang me from a crane for being gay,” he returned to France and wrote that the revolution was “political spirituality.”

“To find, even at the cost of their lives, this thing whose possibility we have forgotten since the Renaissance,” he wrote enthusiastically, “political spirituality. I can already hear the French laughing, but I know they are wrong." He wrote about the leader of the movement: "Khomeini is not there... Khomeini says nothing... Khomeini is not a politician." Foucault looked down on the Ayatollah, he saw a blank screen on which he could project his fantasies. Foucault wrote that Khomeini was 'not a politician'. That is true, Khomeini was not a politician. He was an Ayatollah who wanted to return the world to a time when marrying a nine-year-old girl was a good idea. But Foucault was enthusiastic about Khomeini because he was anti-America. Like a chicken that is enthusiastic about the slaughterer because he shaved in the morning and aftershave there.

In those months, an Iranian woman wrote a letter to Le Nouvel Observateur. She signed a pseudonym, Atousa H. She warned: the European left was being tempted by "a cure that may be worse than the disease." She knew. She lived there.

Foucault answered her publicly. "The first condition for approaching Islam with a minimum of intelligence. Is not to start with hatred." The same Progressive Leftist BS of the global left today that is trying to give radical Islamic terrorists a seat at the table and allow them to spread their violence and culture (and if you disagree with them you are a "Racist")

From a café in Paris, he replied that she was suffering from 'Orientalism.' Because the height of intellectualism is lecturing the victim on the right way to enjoy his oppression.

In March 1979, the executions began. Homosexuals were executed. The hijab became mandatory. Laws protecting women were abolished. "Political spirituality" was revealed as what it always was.

The Western left has always been a magician who believes so much in his illusion that he saws off his own leg for real and then complains that the saw is not postmodern enough.

Foucault's influence on academia is like a contagious venereal disease in the humanities department. He taught an entire generation that there is no truth, there are only narratives of power. He paved the way for 'Queers for Palestine.' This is the logic of someone so open-minded and progressive that his brain just fell out on the carpet and he didn't notice.

The ayatollahs in Iran came to power with the help of the socialist and Marxist left, forming a strategic alliance with Islamist street gangs against the values ​​of the liberal West. Just as progressive leftists in Europe and the United States are doing today.
