"Diversity ... is the foundational cause of war, local frictions..."
The more that people who are members of groups interact with other groups, the more that they will hate those other groups. DEI, forced racial integration, increased travel have all increased the enmity of the people involved.
“…the time that Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Zhou Enlai [Iranian] and the Islamist forerunner Sayyid Qutb spent in the west would have disarmed them, instead of heightening their awareness of difference. “

Absolutely. No matter how much the left ignores our innate proclivities, no matter how much social tinkering fails, no matter how much money is thrown at problems, nothing can change human nature that has been evolving for eons. It’s etched in genetic stone. Social problems will never be solved until we deal with human beings as they are, not as we wish them to be. This is the crux of the nature/nurture standoff. Always appreciate your comments, Michael.
She has the philosophy that one may use the overwhelming coercive power of government to solve all of the social ills. I like to call that “better living through slavery.” The most chilling phrase in the English language is “for the greater good.” You can thereby justify anything. What could go wrong?

Yes, and the second most chilling phrase is, “II’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
Indeed think you could argue that either one is the worst.
