The scriptures are replete with information about all of us never being good without God, which is important to recall when thinking too highly of ourselves because of political affiliations.  Jesus Christ is the only perfect person to ever walk the Earth, because He was God in Eternity past and never could commit a sin.  The Law of God had two purposes, the primary was to point to God for our requirement of a Savior, and the second to not sin which is impossible until we receive our new bodies at the Judgment Seat of Christ. 

The context of the Mark 10:18 and Matthew 19:17 passages is even when we think that we are abiding the Law that our allegiance is still to ourselves as exposed by the rich young man.  It is interesting that there is some beliefs that do not have scriptural proof that Mark is perhaps the rich young man of the passage along with the man who lost his garment in Mark 14:51-52.

What is "Left-Wing" and "Right-Wing" ideologies and Extreme Examples?

The commonly perceived general references on "Left-Wing" and "Right-Wing" ideologies are:

There are people that describe themselves as being a Right-Wing person in their views.  There are those that have taken their Right-Wing desires to extremes in the USA such as Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the Oklahoma City Bombers.  As often heard in public and private venues, if a Right-Wing person or group does anything against a person or society then the event is reported in all of the News Media and Social Media outlets as a leading news story.

There are also extreme Left-Wing actions against individuals and people.   These Left-Wing actions happen more commonly than known, but the majority of News Media outlets do not report on Left-Wing actions.  Fortunately, there are still New Media and Social Media outlets that do report on radical Left-Wing actions.  Similar to McVeigh and Nichols, there is the Left-Wing Unabomber Ted Kacynski which most of us would agree that Kacynski shares some type of psychotic disorder like McVeigh and Nichols in order for the three men to believe in premeditated murdering justifies their goals. 

The only other second well-known extreme example of a Right-Wing action is the Washington DC Capital Protest Riot, that some people label always a riot, really should be called the "Capital Protest Mob", as there was:

1. No Blatant destroying of property by the vast crows as it was overtly peaceful,
2. No Looting,
3. No one brought weapons, bombs, set fires with the intention of murdering anyone at the Capital building,
4. No Murder or attempted murder by the "mob", "rioters" and "protesters",
5. No Indiscriminate fighting,
6. Most people attending were there only to participate outside of the building and not breach the building,
7. President Trump issued directives to Pentagon Leadership to "Keep January 6 Safe" were deliberately ignored as simply read from the Government Press Releases, and willfully not reported by the leftist politically motivated media.  If link is moved, click here for screen capture document.
8. New film information coming out as of 2025, click for sample, shows that there were also FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) agents in plain clothes or semi-riot control, without identification, throughout the Washington protest who in most cases did nothing and a few other cases by film footage had participated in damage where one particular film coverage showed intent to blame the protestors. 
   (a) Note that FBI has no jurisdiction at the Capital Building where continuing investigations as of 2025 are trying to identify why were twenty-six CHS agents at the event?
   (b) Perform internet searches on Michael Horowitz, inspector general of the Justice Department, investigation information where left-winged news organizations:
   * down-play,
   * state there was nothing new found, and
   * constantly use hate-speech against everyone that is not a Democrat by careful insinuating words and phrases to have the readers draw a desired conclusion.
9. Videos coming out after Trump's second term, proved videos prior to the election were:
   (a) carefully edited small time segments shown of windows being broken or policing actions to give the viewer a very different impression. 
   (b) When examining the time segment full videos show very different conclusions that there were instigators but NOT the vast majority of protestors.
10. BLM for almost a year as discussed next in this topic, was considered by the Leftist as justifiable to protest and riot even with murders, deaths, looting, fires of government and private properties.  The one-day January 6th Protest stays for almost a year on Leftist media outlets with portrayals of everyone was evil and deserving the mandatory very long prison terms along with even naming people involved so that further public retaliation against their families and where they lived could take place.

Note that this author is not stating that the Washington DC Capital Protest was righteous.  Also, note that a protester that was part of those that entered the Capital was killed by Police that was hardly mentioned in the news Media.  Her name was Ashil Babbit, a Barack Obama supporter who was part of the event, was shot while climbing through a broken window after multiple warnings.  The question not exposed in the media anywhere that this author could locate is did Ashil have any kind of weapon and did she assault anyone to warrant the weapon use over others at the riot / protest?  Ashil's family brought a lawsuit, that was settled in 2025 multiple millions of dollars.

The extreme Leftist examples are very numerous with frightening actions in all kinds of civil disobedience, thefts, rapes, violence, murders, and primarily HATRED AND IGNORANCE:  One of the best explanations of the Leftist is they hate (read more in Evil Acts topic), as the Roman Historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus who had many insightful quotes, wrote:

1. Before the Washington DC Capital Protest Riot there were two Leftist Women Susan Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans who tried to murder Republican Senators on November 7th, 1983 by covertly bringing in a bomb into the U.S.A. Capital.  Investigations also showed that through various internet "fact-finding" investigators state they were part of a larger group called "Armed Resistance Unit".  At the end of President Clinton's presidency, Bill Clinton commuted sentences for both Susan and Linda after they had already spent more than 25-years in prison.
2. BLM events throughout almost every major city in the USA, for months and months, that
   (a) Destroyed Government Buildings with looting,
   (b) Destroyed Private Property with looting,
   (c) Murdered people along with attempted murders,
   (d) Violently hurt individuals that opposed them, and
   (e) Raping of women.
   Note: estimates of over two billion dollars of damages across the USA.
3. Defund the Police in many United States Cities which had drastic consequences.  The WIKI link provides many reasons why there were theoretical reasons for people not wanting to continue with Police in their areas, where the budget reduction in Police recruitment, staffing and actions caused higher crime rates against society.  Many sources on crime will confirm the problem with crime is victims often do not report to the police.  Therefore, the actual consequences of actual defunding the police is most likely far worse.
4. Blocking of highways and roads in the USA and many other countries for various Left-Wing causes.
5. PETA members going into shopping areas and spray-painted clothing lines that used animals in their products for sale.
6. California major city shopping areas looted with preplanned social media announcements that would state the event was in civil disobedience in reaction to some specific Left-Wing cause.
7. The historic Los Angeles Riots of 1992 that murdered 50 people, 2,300 people injured, and 1,100 building damaged / destroyed.
8. In the year 2025, people identified as Left-Wing, with their self-professed hatred of Elon Musk who at this time is the primary owner of the Tesla Product Line, have been doing the following for months:
   * Ruining the paint on privately own Tesla Vehicles by scraping the sides of the vehicle with sharp objects,
   * Spray painting inflammatory comments on Tesla Car dealerships,
   * Setting Tesla Car Dealerships on fire,
   * Setting privately owned vehicles on fire
   causing millions of dollars of damage across the United States and other countries.  The actions are not coordinated from a central leadership, but just collective Left-Wing ideology that did not take into account:
   (a) The often extreme hardship when destroying privately owned vehicles of a family where ownership is often by someone who believes in electric vehicles helping the environment,
   (b) The loss of jobs at dealerships when cars could not be sold and dealerships had to suspend hourly workers employment for lack of sales along with safety concerns, and
   (d) The involvement of Fire Departments and Police actions that are always needed somewhere else that could indirectly be associated with someone else being:
   * Robbed,
   * Hurt,
   * Murdered, and
   * Losing their home
   because the Fire Department and Police were preoccupied with a Tesla Dealerships and privately owned Tesla cars on fire. 
9. Protesting country border control with the desires of unrestricted country access that enables all types of drug trafficking, human trafficking, with the underestimated enslavement and child sex trafficking.  The ideas of open borders between all countries perpetuate, enable, and condone all types of crime being committed, modern-day slavery, and child trafficking by countries that have negligent border controls.  
   (a) In 2025, it is astounding the negligence of the Leftist to recognize, understand their ignorance, and hold their country accountable to stop open-borders because of illegal immigration. 
   (b) For almost sixty-years, drug cartels have used the open border between Mexico and USA to move all types of narcotics north and return with all types of weapons.  The fault and blame is absolutely primarily on the USA with its consumption of narcotics and failure to control the border.  The USA failure has caused so much harm, death, and destruction in countries like Mexico.
   (c) Illegal immigrants are forced to participate in many types of areas that are absolutely breaking the laws of the country invaded in order have a place to sleep, eat, earn money for providing a service, and obtain medical help. 
10. Allowing and glorifying males competing in girl and women's sport along with even allowing men to use women's bathrooms and have men condemned for crimes be sent to women's prisons.  Regardless of the proposed and not proven merit of identification and sexual orientation of a male, there is physiology that absolutely gives the male body physical superiority over females.
11. Endorsing the Los Angeles, California Emigration Riots of June 2025 that had participant protesting in full riot activities of setting cars on fire, throwing rocks at government vehicles, attacking anyone that opposed them, and waving Mexican Flags.  At the time of this writing, the issue continuing with the President of the United States having to send the National Guard and US Marines to protect Government Representatives, Civilians, Government property, and Private Property.  This disrespect of the United States for allowing over ten million people from multiple countries live without any responsibilities to the United States for over sixty-years shows the blame has been also shared by the government, along with citizens, of the United States and the people who violate the laws with no remorseful accountability.
12. The most stunning, alarming, hate filled assassination of Charlie Kirk, Turning Point,  in 2025 by accused Tyler Robinson who is awaiting trial at the time of this writing.  Internet searches is beyond belief from every prominent News Agency that this author could find which is filled with propaganda on what Charlie Kirk said in thousands of hours of videos on social media where Leftist News Agencies are implying or definitely stating that Charlie Kirk instigated his own assassination, along with distorting things Charlie Kirk stated in very short video segments taken out of context.
    (a) There are so many, many positives that the assassination caused such as an awaking of people of non-Leftist mentality and right leaning conservative ideals.
    (b) The awakening was against the Leftist, throughout the last one-hundred years of history, are causing so much harm with:
    * Their insinuations that speech against anything the Leftist believes in is cause for theft, vandalism, physical altercations, injuries, and even murder against anyone that is not a Leftist.
    * The end results of the Leftist Political, Social, and Governmental goals justify any and all actions to obtain their Leftist Political, Social, and Governmental goals.
    (c) During nearly fifty and more public vigils celebrating the life and tragic assassination, that was attended by thousands of people in small and large areas, there was no looting, arson, riots, and murders unlike so many Leftist events.
13. In Democrat controlled Cities and States in the United States, the Democrats have created
    (a) "Cashless Bail" for criminals so that they are almost immediately released after a crime, and
    (b) "Misdemeanor" laws for theft under a specific amount such as a $1,000 along with possession of illegal substances and weapons
    all of which has created lawlessness in the many, many areas of cities that make crime have zero consequences.  The further consequences are business failures and crime is perpetuated and made worse.
14. In times of Democrat control everywhere in the United States, they have been behind the constant decriminalization of the use of drugs which has caused so many, many problems such as the destabilization of the family when dealing with parent and children addictions, vehicular accidents with even death in transportation, theft to support a drug habit and the destabilization of countries that supply drugs with criminal enterprises that have are able to purchase or kill policing agencies.
15. In times of the Leftist Democrat control of the United States, they have enacted legislation to destabilize the family with incentives to have children in single parent female homes with a growing welfare state that teaches generations to repeat the same process, which guaranteed power and votes for Democrats
16. The 2025 illegal immigration enforcement is like the BLM with the Leftist Socialist Antifa, the Leftist Media, and many Leftist States and Cities governments doing everything possible to not allow the immigration officers to do their job, stop riots outside of immigration buildings, and not stop Antifa from following officers to their homes to publicly inform fellow Antifa where to attack next.
17. A pattern of arson, violence, rioting, violence, murder and attempted murders that all had little News Coverage where the perpetrators are all Leftist and identified as Democrats.

18. In other countries besides the United States of America, there are aspects of Communism, Socialism, and Fascism that are absolutely people that can be identified are Leftist, albeit there is distinct difference in the goals where the commonality is the belief in everyone can be equal in benefits regardless of skills, work contribution, and abilities.  Conservative politics does not resemble communism or fascism in any aspects as claimed by the Leftist.  See the topic on Communism, Socialism vs. Democracy in a Republic.

The extreme examples of a Left-Wing person is being labeled as a "Leftist" in this topic. 

History continues to Repeat Itself

Note that the historical starting of the Leftist in the United States had one of it major beginning points in the years of the 1960s with what was known as the Counter Revolution of freedom to do anything that the heart desired.  Unfairly, the term counter revolution was labeled to encompass some absolutely required corrections and fixes in areas of civil rights and racial equality.  One of this author's greatly admired historical figures was Reverend Martin Luther King where Rev King would never had described himself as a counter revolutionist as he never endorsed free sex, drug use, and so many other platforms of the counter revolutionist.  Rev King did oppose the Vietnam War and believe in non-violent activism.  Rev King was murdered for his righteous activism by what this author agrees with the Rev King Family was a conspiracy by a group of white racist that thought they were above the law as police officers.  

The counter revolutionist brought and celebrated the use of illegal drugs, open sexuality, and propaganda against anything that was considered conservative with moral values, which was popularized in the movies and the popular musical groups.  One of the antithesis examples was the open hatred of the Vietnam War, destruction of public and private property during riot protests, and then the verbal and worse abuse of anyone returning from the Vietnam War.  People in the years of the 1980s began realize that it was extremely unfair to abuse someone who had no choice in being drafted to fight in a war, have his friends killed next to him during the war, and then come back to have the Counter Revolutionist (Leftist) call him names like "Baby Killer", "Murderer", and worse.

What is a Leftist Mentality?

The Modern-day Leftist has been described as a person who:

1. Thinks of themselves often as being Woke,
2. An Elitist believing in a utopia society is possible,
3. A person believing the Climate takes precedent over a person's life,
4. Same Gender Sexual Orientation must be given special privileges and allowances, and
5. Many not well-known social desires.

The Leftist people act as Moral Crusaders in mostly Western Countries where the use of

1. Violence,
2. Civil Disobedience,
3. Destruction of Private and Government Property, and
4. Murders

are used to obtain a never-ending list of objectives that are not even agreed upon by the members who participate that are motivated by hate and monetary gains by theft or paid participation.

Summary History of the Progress of Fairness in Government

This is a brief, not complete, and notable events in history on the progress made in fairness in government:

1. Democracy was founded by the Greeks in the 5th Century BC in the city-state of Athens.
2. The English people set up Parliament in 1215 that had a slow process of removing the direct ruling by the Monarch.
3. The French Revolution of 1787 to 1799 changed the rule of the Monarchy to a Democracy with some unfortunate eventual consequences.
4. The United States was founded on a Bill of Rights which has been often modeled in many other contemporary countries.
5. Unions in the United States accomplished some great things, such as abuse of power by executives and owners of companies, before being used:
   (a) As an instrument of enabling mediocrity,
   (b) Destroying innovation, and
   (c) Highly publicized acts of organized crime. 
   
   The primary benefit of Unions is:
   (a) For income equality,
   (b) Fair treatment of employees, and
   (c) Retirement plans to give future monetary compensation
   where there is bargaining power, in fair wage compensation and other benefits, is by using a strike where employees refuse to work. 
   
   The greatest accomplishment of organized union labor ocurred on August 20, 1866 with the National Labor Union asking congress to mandate an eight-hour workday.  This was also being done in many countries accross the world.
   
   Note that these items have often been attributed to be accomplished by Unions and that is not true:
   (a) Henry Ford in the 1920, started the five day work week with Saturday and Sunday off from work.
   (b) Child labor was made against the law in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
   (c) Employer-based health coverage began in 1943, and was not consider part of wages earned by an employee.
   (d) The Medical Leave act began on February 5, 1993.

It has to be noted that God set up a fair system of government with Israel which showed it works perfectly under the leadership of the:

• Good Kings
• Righteous Sanhedrin
• Cities of Refuge when not harboring evil people, and
• People attempting to live righteously under the Law.

Treat All People as Jesus Christ would have us Treat Them

The following summary by Liam DeBoer in light-gold background is from a podcast speech by Liam DeBoer. This author has made some small grammatical and format enhancements in transcribing to text for easier reading and an international audience of Biblical Thoughts for God's Glory. Liam DeBoer is detailing information about a person often called a Leftist, which may also a Leftist Activist.

This information is included in Biblical Thoughts for God's Glory to help Christians understand the possible psychological reasoning by a Leftist. Note that this author is not a trained psychologist, and would state that the contents of Liam DeBoer's speech summarizes an easy to follow summary with the following application for the Christian:

• Treat all people with respect of their opinions, and when compelled by the Holy Spirit then offer Christian Thoughts. We are Ambassador's of Jesus Christ.
• Never act out in any type of prejudice, violence, or even moral superiority.
• Trust the Holy Spirit to be silent when information about Jesus Christ will not be received.
• Try to understand that there are many victimized people that are born with a vast set of problems including abuse from parents, pastors, and others that might be the cause of their viewpoints and desires which is not going to be simple to fix.

A Great Summary of the Leftist by Liam DeBoer

Not mentioned by Liam DeBoer is the possible additional motivation for these actions is because of the sense of empowerment that is also motivated by revenge.

The Cycle of Nations Leads to the Leftist

In the Old Testament, the history of Israel is perhaps Tytler's influence along with human-nature and the history of civilizations. Israel, in the Exodus, went through the cycle shown where each phase can be associated with a place in Israel's history that was culminated in the splitting of Israel into a Northern and Southern Kingdom.  The Southern Kingdom, while still having problems, still embraced God and the Northern Kingdom with great abundance was following other gods that led to a Judgment against them from God.

There is also a unique book by Jim Nelson Black called "When Nations Die", with the summary points that are similar to the Cycle of Nations where with the dissolving of a Nation occurs when there is decay of social, cultural and moral standards that were present before.  There is also books written about the decay of nations related to the majority of their population:

1. No longer relying and adhearing to Biblical Principles, and
2. Their fair treatment of Jewish People.
   

The following is an excerpt from the topic on "Communism and Socialism vs. Democracy vs. a Republic with Additional Thoughts and Clarity on Fascism": The United States The United States is described as a Republic and a Democracy, when it was founded as a Republic.  In most people's minds this is exactly the same thing but that is not true where here are two primary differences with many others that were designed to balance power in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government..  Democracy implies a direct rule by all of the people by their vote and everyone's vote is equal.  Republic implies a system where the will of the people are mediated by representatives, who might and should be wiser, better educated than the average person. In the early years of the American Colonies, voters had to own land to be allowed to vote.  The establishment of the Electoral College was set up with the intention to cushion or run interference between the government from the direct expression of the popular vote which might be not for the betterment of the people.  (If creator is known, please contact this author.) (If creator is known, please contact this author.) Socialism: "So good people climb fifteen foot high walls and risk being shot to get away from it. Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. Fascism The term Fascist is often used as an insult towards people who are conservative.  Conservative People are those who believe in self-reliance and everyone earning their own way with help to only the truly needy and are often regarded as Capitalists.  The best definition for Fascism comes from "The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics": "As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal capitalism, with its alleged class conflict, wasteful competition, and profit-oriented egoism, and revolutionary Marxism, with its violent and socially divisive persecution of the bourgeoisie. Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialism blood and soil for the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism. Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the national interest that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. ... "  by Sheldon Richman Caveat Some may argue that there are aspects of Socialism and Communism that are actually good such as protection for elderly workers, social financial income and healthcare for those over a specific age or disability, projects to provide work for economically poor areas, etc.  The question is "are these ideas inspired by Socialism or Communism?" where the answer is not necessarily yes or no.    In previous generations of Americans and also currently in many places in the world, the family unit provided the elderly, disabled, mentally impaired a place to live with loving and respectful care.  It was very common in the USA, prior to the 1970s, to have grandparents living in the home with their married children and they assisted / participated in the grandchildren's rearing and contributed to the whole family's benefit.  Additionally, Churches in communities also provided assistance.  There were hardly any assisted living homes or places to "ship off" members of the family because they were socially unacceptable or a burden to one's lifestyle.  In our current world, there is a place for assistance for the extreme or unique cases of the human condition, but the problem now is it is used all the time when it should not be used. It should be obvious that this topic is dealing with the inevitable problems of government by a socialistic or communistic society.   It is not the purpose of this topic to list out a plan or solution to avoid or remove a socialist or communistic society.

Most if not all people can name most of the differences between people who are politically and socially Leftist as compared against Rightist conservative political and social beliefs.  The problem with human-nature is we all are capable of sinning in so many areas where political and social beliefs are not a deterrent against doing wrong actions.  When there is open availability to consume, participate, use, and ignore moral and ethical standards then this will absolutely negatively affect all of us.  As an analogy, if anyone works without safeguards in an intensive care unit at a hospital where the patients have contagious diseases, then the person working without safeguards will ultimately be infected. 

Intelligence demands the recognizing and correlation between the shifting and hypocritical standards of the Leftist who predominately ignore the scriptures in their lives regarding so many areas which ultimately does affect all people that are also Rightist.  The Leftist is fond of listing people in power that are abusing power where the Leftist doesn't realize that their examples of no standards, abusing standards, hypocritical actions contribute to the sinful actions of Rightist in Power in many ways, that does not exonerate the Rightist in Power. 

The well-known sinful cliche is: "if everyone is doing it, then why can't I do it?" and "if everyone is doing it, then God will not judge me if I do it." without understanding Karma ~ Sowing and Reaping in God's handling of the good and bad things we all participate and think.  Thomas Jefferson, founding father of the United States and 3rd President, wrote: "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." 

This author has experienced grace and mercy in the sinful actions in my life, and multiplied blessings on good actions done along with multiplied blessings from undeserved suffering done by others to me.  I have been amazed, astounded, and shocked at how God uses His timing on handling good and bad.  As one example of many, I had three partners in a business, that stole the company from me where one died several years later at 44 years-old, the other two lost wealth, family, and marriages. God took care of me the whole time, and I had prosperity.  God absolutely uses and often allows undeserved suffering to benefit us where the suffering was necessary to propel us into new greater blessings in our lives and other people in our lives for God's Glory!

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
