The Leftist intransigence that refuses any compromise with bourgeois society and cannot castigate too severely “little white men” actively collaborates with the most reactionary elements in the Muslim religion.

The far Left has never gotten over communism and once again demonstrates that its true passion is not freedom, but slavery in the name of justice.
