Unreconstructed Fantasies
16th March 2021
My mind has recently been perplexing over the fact that a lot of my old muckers on the Left are stuck in a narrow ideological time-warp. Melanie Phillips outlined her journey and her escape from the Left and from woke Feminism in an interview recently where she describes it as a passage from a fantasy world to reality and the real world. Leftist utopian idealism has no truck any longer with the real world of science, biology, human nature – common sense as any sensible person would recognise it. Everywhere you look on the Left the thinking is full of social constructionist theories paraded as fact and the whole agenda is now riven with ludicrous contradictions.
