On Leftism

They have an idea it's to replace the society of social and economic consent that we live in with the social and economic primacy of the parasites over the productive.  Or as their primary philosophical source (and founding trustifarian) put it, "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs."  As there's no limit to the needs of the parasite masters they'll be no limit on the burdens imposed on the productive slaves.  Poison is poison no matter how much flavoring one adds to it.  They can't avoid knowing that their ideal society is toxic to us and thus have no effective choice but to attack the opposition on trivial issues in order to head off a public examination of their basic ideological premises.  Political ideology is basically a means of giving the appearance of positive virtue to actions that are morally intolerable to the victims.
