Ever since David Horowitz broke from the radical left back in the 1980s, he has been trying to warn conservatives that they don’t really understand the core principle of the left, and the depths of the left’s power-mad depravity. Conservatives too often think that the Israel-Palestine conflict, or civil rights, crime, income inequality, transgender ideology, climate change, etc, etc., are discrete issues to be argued against the left with reason and facts. To which Horowitz replies: The issue is not the issue—the issue is revolution! (And a key corollary is: the more violent, the better. Hence the approval and celebration of Hamas on October 7.) …

By the way, this one one reason the climate change is such a great issue for the revolutionary left, and why the climatistas resist many technological solutions to reducing emissions or warming—such as nuclear power, carbon capture, CO2 air capture, or geo-engineering: they all detract from the revolutionary tactic of ending fossil fuel use entirely, which too many governments and even energy companies foolishly go along with. The unity of the hard core climatistas and the general revolutionary agenda—just see Naomi Klein’s books on how climate change can only be solved by ending capitalism for proof—can be seen in the pro-Hamas photo Greta Thunberg released that included an old Nazi-era image of Jews as an octopus, with tentacles controlling the world. Let’s start referring to Thunberg and activists like her as the “Hamas wing of the climate change movement.”
