I bring up that scene in Dr Zhivago
to my libinlaw that lives alone in a huge house
as an example of what she’s supporting,
and she completely denies that that’s what the left is about.
If leftists understood what they are REALLY supporting a large percentage of them would not BE leftists. Those who would be leftists anyway probably DO understand exactly what they are supporting and are benefitting in some way by supporting it.
Zhivago: "Yes, Comrade K, it will be so. We are sorry for our past capitalist ways!
