Libertarianism and Islamofascism

Libertarianism -- not to be confused with genuine classical liberalism -- will be destroyed by Fascist Islamism one way or the other. Either the majority of voters in the West will see it for what it is and reject it or Islamists will use it for what it's worth, (using the camouflage of Multiculturalism) and then seek to conquer those societies once they are in a position of strength.

By the 1980s, most Americans understood that libertarianism (embodied in the social democratic humanist parties of the West) was a dead end. Australians 'got it' in the 1990s. The British are just now showing signs of getting it. Continental Europe shows few signs of getting it, at least not Old Europe. She will probably be crying out for America to save her at some point. Again.

Libertarians seem blithely unaware that, while the Islamists might rant against the infidel Jews and 'Crusaders' in the internet video preambles to their murders and massacres, they have nothing but utter contempt for the moral philosophy of libertarianism, which inclines strongly to atheism. The libertarians' naivete in this regard seems to be a product of their own generally hostile disposition towards Christianity and the State of Israel, if not towards Christians and Jews personally. This hostility has apparently blinded them to the fascist nature of Islamism.

The fascination of the Left for power figures of the Fascist right is a thing to behold. There is a strange revulsion-attraction to Nationalsozialism: International Socialism's bastard progeny. The news footage of Tony Benn perched on the edge of his chair like an adoring schoolboy in rapt attention on a visit to Saddam Hussein in his last months of power as the Americans planned his removal remains etched on my memory. (Baathism is a secular Arab manifestation of fascist ideology).

Expect no thanks from the Libertarians to the true defenders of freedom when they are saved from this new Islamofascist enemy.
