RE: Frankenstein's Monster, Social Justice & Higher Education
I agree that the "revolution" of that began in the 60s required new targets to fuel itself. It reminds me of the Terror durning the French Revolution that continuously demanded new heads to be sacrificed at the guillotine. Robespierre ultimately became its last sacrifice, after the revolutionary committee finally realized that the revolutionary beast is consuming itself with themselves as the next meal. It seems that revolutionaries make for poor governors. I think the current sociopolitical revolt of the radicals is the final stage of the leftist revolution consuming itself along with her architects. Will the radical leadership realize their precarious position in time to stop the beast? Or will they be sacrificed at their alter as well?
I don't think the radical leadership is capable of stopping the beast, even if they wanted to. It has achieved an autonomous dynamic that will devour them. Of course, it may be that their goal is the bringing down of the west and they will gladly go with the fuzzy feeling of martyrdom to their ultimate demise. Very good parallel drawn to the French Revolution! Thanks for the feedback!
