One consequence of the triumph of the political left is the
proliferation of fanciful psychiatric diagnoses for all manner of
conservatives.
Now Kerry Bolton has written a factually based account of the
pathology of the left - the vanity of Rousseau, the narcissistic
personality of Karl Marx, the megalomania of Trotsky, the
father-hating hedonist Mao Zedong, through to the paedophile
promoting Allen Ginsberg, and the Oedipus complex of Louis
Althusser who on release from a mental hospital strangled his wife.
Kerry Bolton's The Psychotic Left not only makes fascinating
reading, but it provides an insight into the hypocrisy of many of
the leading figures on the political left, who despite their
rhetoric were totally devoid of compassion or empathy for their
fellow man.
A common thread of many of the personalities discussed in this
book is an overwhelming narcissism - the arrogance of people who
are absolutely confident in their prescriptions for redesigning
society and absolutely ruthless in putting their ideas into action
- whatever the cost in human lives and suffering.
