Erudite chap, what?
Nearly all of leftist thought is based on obfuscating facts and reality.
It comes down to emotional rants that essentially state:
“I hate reality!” Change it, change it now! Anything will be better than what exists!
and the political sociopaths who take advantage of the emotional hatred and anger of the above.
“I will change it for you! I will give you hope and change!”
When the vast majority of their changes result in failure and disaster. The only reason the left has prospered in the 20th century was that the pace of technological innovation has kept them from quick, utter, and complete failure.
They have litterally parasitized on the backs of their betters.
