The Left seeks to ride to power on the backs of people who are supposed to see their own lives as amounting to little more than belonging to a group the Left claims to champion.
The predatory, tyrannical Left typically seeks to establish its moral authority by portraying its quest for power as a defense of disadvantaged constituencies. Unfortunately for the leftist, the constituencies they claim to defend often include members who resist and disavow the Left's claim to represent them, thus deflating the Left's irrationally aggrandized sense of political entitlement. Like any intolerant bigot, the moralizing leftist demands unstinting loyalty and uncompromised obedience from those he or she claims to represent, and when this is not forthcoming, ugliness ensues.
As is well known, Marx exhorted the workers of the world to unite. They never did. Taken as a theoretical abstraction, the world's workers were supposed to act as a single mass constituency marching behind the Left, but the actual workers proved to be more complex than Marx had allowed. They exhibited diverse interests and aspirations such that no single political movement could wholly capture or adequately represent them.

Of course, the Left harbors within itself its own sometimes unappreciated diversity -- it represents a coalition of predatory idealists and cynical profiteers. With these latter in view, we note that boldly championing the salvation of the planet from the evils of carbon is all the more attractive to a certain kind of especially well-healed and high-placed leftist when doing so might skew the market in a manner beneficial to certain "green" companies in which they themselves are heavily invested. Few things so swell the heart of posturing career leftists like turning a quick buck.

The Clintons and the Bidens are only a few examples of the greedy leftist grifters. Leftists should be mocked for being in this grifter worshipping club.
“Predatory idealists”…great description!
“....“Predatory idealists”…great description!...”
Yep...without a doubt. I’m probably gonna steal it.
Those two words sum these evil bassturds up perfectly.
They think they’re better and smarter than everyone else as well. In reality, they’re dumber than a box of rocks (apologies go out to the rocks).
It’s a chronic, no-cure, mental disease of enormous proportions.
Too bad the “meritorious” elite (are the trust fund babies actually elite in anything other than bank account balances?) are intent on slamming the door on their own countrymen, preferring to turn our economy into a training program for developing world workers who will abandon the U.S. the minute it is advantageous to do so.
What am I supposed to say? Thank you rich people for feeding our economy to China, for funding CRT, for enabling cancel culture, for backing the wrong horse, for creating your own monsters, for frivolous lawsuits and privacy invasions most of us don’t have a staff to defend ourselves from, and loosing the whirlwind on us all?
With great power comes great responsibility.
