"Another Attempt At Discussing Leftists-As-Heretics" by Mensch59

Mensch59 here. My previous OP titled "Leftist Heretics" generated a lot of comments, but it generally devolved into a fight thread.

I was anticipating a more serious discussion about the following questions.

Is it worth a second opportunity to think and talk about ourselves as (so-called) "heretics" and "blasphemers"?


• Regarding infighting about orthodoxy vs heresy: is the left / the Left destroying itself? 


• What's your honest opinion of leftists attacking fellow leftists? 


• Are some of us struggling to discover within our core a genuinely radical & personal leftist political-economic ideological philosophy and then authentically working / laboring to bring that philosophy to the forefront on social media and on the ground, in the streets & coffee houses, in real life? (This implies that there are some leftists who are no longer "struggling to discover", but who have already discovered.)


• Or are some of us deeply closeted reactionaries and deeply closeted neoliberal neo-normal fascists? (Regarding [so-called] "new normalism" see Paul Cudenec's essay "Fascism, Newnormalism and The Left" at https://censor-free-zone.blogspot.com/2021/08/fascism-newnormalism-and-source-by.html [particularly the section "Fascism and NewNormalism"] and CJ Hopkins' essay "The New Normal (Phase 2)" at https://consentfactory.org/2021/03/08/the-new-normal-phase-2/ for example descriptions.) 


• Does it even matter politically how a person politically self-describes or how we describe others?


Maybe these questions are too difficult to tackle. A discussion on the topic of how it can be determined which leftists among us are heretics and blasphemers and which are not -- that is which ones of us are orthodox liberals or orthodox fascists or orthodox neoliberals -- all of these orthodoxies currently supporting the (so-called) "New Normal" -- contrasted with which ones of us are resisting the New Normal -- with the meaning & understanding that all new truths begin as heresies or blasphemies -- needs to be undertaken.
