This is where someone well-intentioned jumps in and says, "If only we could get those leftists to listen to what the jihadists really want, they would abandon their alliance, because leftists desire personal freedom above all!" No they wouldn't, and no they don't.

I never read David Horowitz's book about the red-green alliance (we could call it the red-green-brown alliance, including fascists along with communists and jihadists). However, the thrust is clear from the title; these groups have more in common than not. All of them want a totalitarian state, with them in control of life and death.

The violent psychopaths shrieking from university lawns despise peaceful, self-controlled, independent, productive adults. As Ayn Rand said, "They despise the good for being good." Marxism provides intellectual justification for their feelings of grievance, and jihad provides the solution.

The DeSantis-Rufo method provides us with the only way to save Western civilization without secession or civil war, namely: push back - hard!
