    Ted started off as a smart guy, but the MKULTRA abuse he experienced left him with a broken ideology.

    Many parts of his manifesto are problematic, and I hope people don’t think it’s good theory.

    Some excerpts:

    The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

    The leftist seeks to satisfy his feeling of inferiority by cultivating attitudes of superiority. He is not the only one to do this, but he is the one who goes furthest in this direction.

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

    The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person is too eager to seize the initiative and too insensitive to feel guilty for his aggression. The leftist is as prone to manipulating others as the more right-wing person, but his main goal is to avoid straining his own conscience.

    Ted also has some jabs at reactionaries, but he’s not a leftist for sure. There’s better literature out there, from an actual leftist perspective that people could be reading instead.
