5. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They

hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The

reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real

motives. They say they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and

so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist

finds excuses for them, or at best he grudgingly admits that they exist; whereas he enthusiastically

points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western

civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America

and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

21. Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and

moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion and

moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a

component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not

rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help. For

example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to

demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic

concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But

leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional

needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for

them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm

black people, because the activists’ hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify

race hatred.
