One ring to bind them all..

What unites Leftists? What keeps them going? What is their drive? Do Leftists change with time, or change at all, or do all those new names they make for themselves simply not make any difference? Is there any difference between Leftists like Hitler and Stalin and, say, Michael Moore and John Kerry? If someone says there is difference I would be very happy to hear about it. I don't think there is, but maybe my mind can be changed.

Leftists are a very broad group of people, just like those to the Right of course. Leftists call themselves Greenies, Social-democrats, liberals (in USA), feminists, radicals (in Iceland anyway) and then of course there are those who say they don't want to label themselves anything, not join any political organization or club, but are in fact very hard Leftists in heart, although they pretend they are neutral and above the daily disputes.

All of these different kinds of the same sub-specie: the Leftist, have one thing in common: They want to control! Yes, that's right. No matter what they call them-selves, or even if they don't call themselves anything at all. They have this common need to get as deep as possible into peoples lives, jobs and hobbies and regulate, manipulate, guide, force and of course, tax! They don't like or trust the free market and don't listen to any reason in that respect. They don't trust individuals to handle their own properties well enough to escape regulation and taxation. They want to ban smoking, overcharge alcohol and force people to pay to government-run pension-funds. They want pollution to kill, but not by increasing it to the levels needed so it could kill, but by forcing the world-economy to spend so much money to prevent so little pollution, that no money is left to spare for those who might need it for drinking water and food.

A shortage of free-market capitalism, if you will, is the Leftist drive. A shortage of freedom - that's the Leftists drive! Too much freedom will generate too much prosperity for Leftists to thrive in, or at least make the damage they create of lesser extent. Big Leftist-names like Stalin and Hitler were men who made it to high offices with almost unlimited powers to control every detail of society. In short, the Leftist dream! The results? Millions of dead bodies after thousands of special-interest government programs, designed to achieve some common goal of success and progress, but resulted in the destruction of lives, wealth and resources. A true Leftist-utopia as a result of a fertile ground for Leftist-growth.

To destroy fertility for Leftist-growth, those to the Right need to fight for freedom and capitalism and generate prosperity so abundantly that no Leftist will ever make it to the top of the government-structure. And if it is to happen, like it did in Iceland a few years ago, the Left must be fought with full force and no surrender! Never underestimate the Leftist-need to govern others. Don't let the Leftists new-age names for himself fool you. He is simply an offspring of the same ideologies that drove Stalin and Hitler to insanity and massacres!

The Leftist will be born for undetermined future, and perhaps not extinct until we reach the level of freedom, technology and prosperity like described in Star Trek and other libertarian future visions, where the "the Collective" of the Borgs is not the friend, but the ultimate enemy. I will probably not live to see that happen, but I will do my best to speed things up. Meanwhile, I hope everyone will realize what drives the Leftist, and why it's bad and needs to be fought.
