They turn out to be facts.
Leftist philosophy declares everyone in the world can share this and the endless cost can always be met by the rich who they despise out of sheer jealousy.
I'd be a little more sympathetic with Socialism, if you could separate the hard working from the parasites. The problem is, as you mention, their policies are based on envy, and think that those with a few bob, who have worked their balls of earning it, should just give a big lump away before they get their salary advice. There are loads of people in low paid jobs through no fault of their own, and these are the people who deserve help, not those who just want to take, and think they are entitled to do so.
This is why I have a lot of admiration for the proper Labour voting working classes who do not want to see their own hard earned just squandered on every vagrant wanting to come here on a freebie. These types actually want it recirculated amongst their own not given to boatloads of unemployable chancers.
It's the progressive left who have now taken over the working class left and are now imposing all types of trendy thinking upon them which the traditionalists object to.
The socialist types I have a go at are those at the top, or in charge, who like to prescribe equality of poverty to everyone bar themselves.
I have nothing against the old Labour voting old guard who are still clinging to the false idea that the current reds are still on their side. they ditched them a long time ago in favour of representing the worlds waifs and strays.
