Being to the Left in politics usually involves a very strong focus on one issue: Money. That's all the Leftist thinks about. How should these people's money be moved from here to here, and how much? How can we spend it so as to make sure we get elected again? Where can money be taken from one or another to sponsor this and that program? Who will object the least if we take some money from him or give him less than before of other people's money? The core thought of people - like me - to the Right, justice, is only a small irritation in the Leftist's mind. That money and property is actually the fruits of efforts and labor is not important to the Leftist. That removing a percentage of income/property without permission is equal to partial slavery is ignored by the Leftist.
Leftists only flourish in free, capitalistic societies where free trade and good business creates all the nice taxmoney they want to spend. Their success depends on them being unsuccessful in carrying out their ideas. Hopefully the lessons from the first half of the 20th century will keep us away from socialism for ever, be it national socialism or any other form of it.
