1. The right should never, ever direct anger at the activists of the left: subverted trade unionists, students, ethnic minorities, LGBT etc. The right must remember that these people are being used and exploited by the left leadership cadre. They are partly victims of the left.

2. This is amply demonstrated by the situation in the British Labour Party over anti-Semitism. For many years there was a strong working class Jewish (particularly East End) & Jewish intellectual strand in the LP that the LP was proud of.

3. Now that there are newer, larger, & less middle class immigrant groups that Labour hopes to stoke w/ envy—particularly Muslims who feel ambivalent over Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians—the Jewish people are being thrown under the bus by the left.

4. Corbyn, Lenin, Marx, Guevara—the leadership of the left always come from a country’s elite. A favourite strategy is to stir resentment and envy among people to advance their interests. It’s never about “justice”, “racism”, “sexism”—it’s about intra-elite competition, no more.

Goes back to Cain. He was a farmer and in a sense the first elite of this type. Abel was a shepherd, maximally free and antic—a nomad beloved by God. Cain was motivated by...envy. Agricultural civilisation itself is leftist.

Do you argue all leftism at its core is driven by envy?

Entropy. It’s just collateral of the winding down of everything. Life is a war against entropy. We can hold out local pockets against the general drift of time. In human psychology, envy is a product of entropy. Spinoza explains this, I think.
