Many equate leftism with religion—a superficial comparison if there ever was one. If leftism is a religion, then religion is nothing more than socialization and exteriorization.
Leftism is leftism because it is exclusively exterior—exterior in its focus, in its aims, assumptions, composition, in its execution, and so-called faith. The explanation for this uber-exteriorization is simple—leftism lacks interiorization.
Leftism is all outside because it has no inside. It has no inner being. More precisely, its inner being is non-being. At its most fundamental level, leftism is the ultra-exteriorization of non-being and nothingness, and the only possible end game of projecting non-existence into the world is annihilation.
Reflect upon all the classes, nations, groups, movements, politics, economics, individuals, and revolutions leftism supposedly defended and supported in the past. The white male worker ranks among the most obvious of these. What has leftism done to the white male proletariat? What about women? How about its visions of economic equality and its many other glorious, exclusively exterior endeavors?
Annihilation all the way down.
To annihilate means to reduce to nothing. The overarching goal of all leftism is to reduce everything and everyone to nothing.
A force that aims to reduce everything and everyone to nothing can hardly be called religion.
Religion—real religion, not entirely exteriorized, predominantly ceremonial and societal religion—is elementally interior. It is rooted in freedom and being. It exteriorizes much of this freedom and being, primarily through language and symbols; however, such exteriorizations do not form the bedrock of religion; they only reflect and represent it.
The reflections and representations of religion in the external world are the cooled by-products of a primary internal awareness and force that ultimately seeks to create.
The yearning to create is, or should be, a central driving force of the religion people refer to as Christianity.
Unlike leftism, which seeks only to reduce being to nothing, Christianity aims to increase and expand freedom and being, not merely within the confines of mortal life in this world but from the perspective of eternity.
