The following short clip of Nixon is fascinating. For one thing, he totally gets communism as a totally destructive effort. That is promotes nothing, and its entire reason de etre is the destruction of that which is good and that which works. But then his language after that is doubly interesting. He uses words from old-speak.
Readers of this site will experience a little cognitive dissonance as we understand these terms as they were meant before being coopted by the left, while also understanding them as their dialectical opposites as they do now. Newspeak in other words. I’ll link to the amazing essay by Orwell as read in the audiobook of 1984 on New speak. That alone is worth the effort.
Nixon uses progressive, freedom, justice, all as they have always meant in the west till recently. Its an interesting experience when you think of how the left negated these terms and redefined them to mean a rough opposite. Islam did the same. Freedom means freedom from man made laws, and justice means the sharia.
