It's the right that doesn't get it. The goal of leftism is not success, wealth, or happiness at all. The goal is to destroy all objects of envy. This is so narcissistic beliefs of greatness cannot be proven wrong. Leftists are the Elliot Rodgers of politics.
Nailed it. IF (hugh if) the Right actually "got it", Civil War II would have already started and probably been over by now. But, all is not lost. The emergence of the TEA party movement is a sign that people are getting it. May be too little too late.
The goal [of the Left] is to destroy all objects of envy.
Envy will manifest in two ways, 1st, to take what is not allowed/rightful, and 2nd, to destroy what is not allowed/rightful. FWIW
The root of Marxism is envy!
