How Leftism is wrong

Left-winged people in politics are a very curious group. They mean well. They want people to feel good and have nice, rich and full lives. They want compassion and they care for the weakest ones in the society. However, all the methods they want to use to achieve their goals are bad and don't work.

Perhaps the most important difference between those to the Left and those to the Right is the belief in the State and its powers to 'shape' and mold people so that a certain kind of society can be formed. Left-wingers actually use words like 'shape' and 'form' when they talk about the function of the State! And that is were they fail. I don't think anyone will find a successful way to shape people and at the same time be free of revolutions, large number of fugitives and massacres in order to keep the peace.

But can't we shape a little here and a little there and just be careful of not shaping too much too fast? Isn't it okay to ban positive talk about tobacco, ban negative talk about colored people, have mandatory seat-belt use in cars and take about half of what people earn and try to make sure everyone has everything? Isn't it okay to use the State like that?
No!
It simply doesn't matter what kind of shaping is done - the State should not have anything to do with people besides securing their safety and properties! I haven't seen any good logic for any different role for the State. The State was originally created to oppress people, and unless the State is restricted to protecting people from violence and theft it is still an oppressor. Leftism is by heart an oppressive ideology and should be treated with the same disgust as national socialism and fascism.

But what about the poor and the sick? Doesn't the State have a role in helping them? I would say not. I have not seen anything which supports the idea that poor people and sick people will be worse off in a free society of volunteer help and free donations. The present system of bureaucracy, long waiting, undersupply of doctors and cut-downs on an ever more expensive medical care is probably the worst thing to offer patients. This is especially true for the poorest ones who rely on the government for medical care by pushing all free charity out of the way with high taxes and heavy regulations.

Not only does the State have no role when it comes to helping the poor and the sick - by trying to help the poor and the sick the State actually makes things worse!

Thankfully the 'world' has been learning for the last few decades and is now moving slowly towards more freedom and stronger restrictions on government interference (for example with international war-crime courts, international law, international free-trade negotiations, and so on). Leftism has never been more to the Right! But we shouldn't stop now. We must continue to fight Leftism and do whatever possible to prevent famines (Leftists hate technology-improvements in agriculture), wars (Leftists think that only the bad guys should have armies and weapons of mass destruction), poverty (Leftists think that only the rich should enjoy free trade and others should settle for charity and loans without conditions to dictators ) and racism (Leftists believe in restrictions on borders so that the local job supply isn't 'threatened' by 'cheap labor', thereby exciting hate and ignorance). In short, by exterminating Leftism we move closer to a free world of prosperity and well-being.
