We’re having an Anti-Communist Film Festival this fall, and among the celebrities we’ve invited are Mel Gibson, Gary Oldman and Adam Driver.
I’m adding J.K. Rowling to the list. Rowling, of course, is famous for writing the Harry Potter books. In recent years she has gained notoriety for pungently resisting the trans movement.
Rowling often identifies herself as a political liberal, but the attack she has experienced by trans activists may drive her further to the right. She may figure out that there is a correlation between communism and trans insanity.
I recently posted on Hot Air about Stalin’s Apostles: The Cambridge Five and the Making of the Soviet Empire, a new book about the British men who became Marxists and delivered military and other secrets to the Soviet Union. The most famous was a managed Kim Philby. In the opening pages of Stalin’s Apostles author Antonia Senior describes a 1934 meeting in London between Philby and his Society handler, Arnold Deutsch:
Deutsch was also an adherent of a theory that married Karl Marx to Sigmund Freud: the sex-pol movement. Wilhelm Reich, a brilliant protégé of Freud, wanted to create a political movement informed by psychoanalysis; in short, if society cast off its taboos around masturbation, abortion, homosexuality, and [female body parts], world revolution would follow. Reich was the Menshevik of this new approach, advocating an intent to raise consciousness among workers of the sexual and economic chains they wore. Deutsch was the Bolshevik; his methods implied a rejection of the slow task of educating the worker in favour of using the freshly forged tools of psychoanalysis to drive world revolution, by violence and betrayal if necessary.
This is also the goal of the far-left transponder activists. The goal is to replace God. It’s the same violence that has been directed at J.K. Rowling. In a new biography, A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling, author Solomon Schmidt describes Rowling’s escape from poverty and an abusive husband to become a world-famous writer and billionaire. In the mid-1990s, before the success of Harry Potter, things were quite dire:
As Rowling sat in her small apartment in Edinburgh with her baby near her side, she worried, and worried, and worried. She was going to be twenty-nine this summer and what she had managed to bring about in her life thus far included a university degree that at this moment appeared to be useless, numerous stints at office jobs that had she quit (or been fired from), a marriage to a man who had physically and emotionally abused her and to whom she
had twice returned before finally resolving to run away, a baby with that man, multiple stories and novels that had gone nowhere, the still-unfinished manuscript of a tale about a young wizard who goes to a magical school she had invented over the last few years, and a bank account with no money in it.
Rowling is wealthy enough and has experienced enough to want a peaceful life without pain, and it says a lot about her courage that she so vocally rejects the nonsense idea that people can change their sex. She also needs to connect it to the Marxism of people like Arnold Deutsch. The left has spent more than a century trying to convince people that sex is not sacred and private and connected to God.
When British Prime Minister Keir Stamer told a media outlet that “a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women, and that is not just my view—that is actually the law,” Rowling fired back “I don’t think our politicians have the slightest idea how much anger is building among women from all walks of life at the attempts to threaten and intimidate them out of speaking publicly about their own rights, their own bodies and their own lives,” Rowling typed in a tweet. “Now @Keir_Starmer publicly misrepresents equalities law, in yet another indication that the Labour Party can no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights,” she continued. “But I repeat: women are organising [sic] across party lines, and their resolve and their anger are growing.”
We welcome them all to the Anti-Communist Film Festival.
