Bloodthirsty power.
Kill babies, people and thought
To answer your question : Thirst for power and disdain for people in general, to rob the rich and trap the poor in serfdom.
Nincompoops want people to obey them -- it's their only path to consequentiality. Hence, politics.
Well-off people with no problems won't tolerate nincompoops, but will tell them to bugger off. Hence, the well-to-do must be made less well-to-do, and the struggling must struggle in vain. No not-needing-nincompoops allowed!
Remember South Park's takedown of Al Gore in the "Manbearpig" episode? That pretty much gets it.
Probably self hatred, hatred of all society, certainly hatred of their own country.
Hatred of God, others, power hungry.
Probably the only episode I ever saw. Certainly the only one I remember. Except the one about the kid eating the gold. But that might have been the same one.
What motivates the Left is hatred, envy and jealousness of those who are better than them, lust for power and control over others, the joy of killing others,etal.
Trying to attribute rational motives to them is fruitless and misleading. Speaking of those who arent merely “liberal”, they hate the truth, plain and simple. Therefore their motives are completely irrational. They are consistent, however, having the characteristic that they oppose all that is true and therefore all that is good.
A lot of the leaders of the left simply believe in very evil ideas, and some have simply become that.
What motivates the left? Pure unadulterated ambition
“Love for the poor”?? Then go sell what you have..., join a missionary, the peace corps, whatever makes you “feel” good, but do it with your money, not taxpayers. If only all citizens were 10% givers.
Narcissism, envy, and ignorance are the foundational pillars of American liberalism.
Those most enamored of communism/socialism are the least productive members of society who want those goodies that accrue to the most productive. Their agenda is detrimental to a productive society resulting in their attempt to hide that agenda by calling themselves progressives or liberals. These communist/socialists who call themselves progressives or liberals now control both parties and those two parties are rapidly bringing this nation to rule by man, loss of all property and enslavement.
Are we going to allow them continued control of the debate and blissfully accept their utopia?
There are those within this nation who cannot abide a wealthy America. They will forever maneuver events so that our wealth is spent buying what we could provide easily from our own resources.
A wealthy and productive nation never chooses poverty and slavery. They do not desire a despotic ruler.
Communism can only be born in the midst of poverty and misery.
This is all part of the plan and the communist/socialist types have been working the plan for a long time. Communism can not be implemented unless the citizens are hurting bad, abject misery, therefore we must be impoverished, unemployed and with no way out.
Taxes on business and industry were implemented and then raised causing them to leave this nation with our wealth and jobs. Restrictions were placed on extracting our natural resources and more taxes were implemented and again raised. the result was spending our wealth buying oil and metals from others. This is leading us down the garden path to accepting their utopia.
When we quit taxing business and industry, the corporations will move back because WE are the most productive workers in the world. When we extract our own oil and metals, we retain our wealth instead of sending it overseas. When we do these things we will be on the road to recovery. When we do these things the communists/socialists will fight us tooth and nail and remember, to them lie, cheat, steal and murder are OK as long as it furthers their agenda.
And now you know the rest of the story!
I Want to See the communist/socialist agenda Crushed. I want to see their political philosophy dead and discredited. I want to see those enamored of it eradicated from the media, from politics, from academic positions, from any position of power. I want to see the adherents of that dead and discredited idea in charge of nothing beyond a gandy stick and acknowledged for what they are.
As mentaly challenged residents of small communities.
If they cared about the poor they would donate more than 1% of their income to charity.
Being a Leftist means caring without doing.
Everyone here is referring to “the left” as a monolithic whole in which every one of them is the power hungry control freaks that seek the power to control and oppress every other human on the planet.
What you need to understand, though, is that there are the “sheeperals” that sit out here and empower and defend the leadership/control freaks for a completely different reason.
The sheeperals, being leftists as well, reject the truth of God. (Rom 1:25 “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.”)
In doing so, they HAVE NO REASON TO MATTER in this “accidental” existance. Hand in hand with this is the visceral understanding of sinfulness coupled with the “intellectual” rejection thereof. They want to believe in the lie that “I’m a good person”, and spend their lives trying to justify that lie.
Supporting people who SAY their motivation is “helping the poor” gives the sheeperals a reason to matter. It’s the same reason they latch onto the Global Warming religion - a reason to matter and a justification of “I’m a good person”.
This is the reason they support redistributionist policies -
“I’m a good person for helping the poor [without any personal sacrifice whatsoever]”
