Leftists destroy economies. Look at Argentina and Venezuela.

The simplest classification of people in human societies is into two groups — producers and non-producers. For most of human history, if you produced you had a chance of survival. Those who did not produce (except for very small children who’s parents produced for them) died. The lazy, indolent, and worthless humans were rejected by the tribe or community and survived by stealing from the producers until caught and killed. Society lived by the Darwinian rule: Survival of the Fittest.

The advent of the welfare state in the advanced societies during the 20th century allowed the lazy and indolent to maintain a subsistence lifestyle off the production of the producers. In the 21st century the welfare state, and its management by woke progressives, has evolved to the point where the non-producers are demanding and receiving more than a subsistence living from the producers. Today the non-producers, and the brainwashed producers, are demanding “equity”, i.e. equality of results, for the lazy and indolent non-producers.

We see the results of the push to equity around us. Producers are moving from the more rapacious states to those with less taxation and regulation. Customer service has declined in almost every industry. Interpersonal relationships have become courser. Government has become more totalitarian as it extracts more of the income and wealth of the producers to transfer to the non-producers. The number of non-producers is increasing at a rapid rate, putting more demands on the producers. Infrastructure is disintegrating, crime is rising, and institutions necessary for society to function (religion, education, law enforcement) are crumbling. We are increasingly surrounded by evidence civilization is devolving into barbarism.

To achieve “equity” our society will ultimately decline to the lowest common denominator which is the existence of the non-producer. Ultimately we will all languish in abject poverty, foraging for food. Eventually producers will band together into tribes to provide some semblance of security in a broken society. The cycle will begin again as tribes of producers kill off tribes of non-producing scavengers. Tribes of producers will form alliances (communities) and then nations, rebuilding society and civilization.
