Interesting to Read Your Thoughts on This

Submitted by peterchristopher on March 2, 2010 - 2:19am.

You started out by saying you are as far left as you can get.  However, I thought one of the basic ideas of the far left is that all investments owned by individuals are stolen.  (Of course, it doesn't seem to apply to the actual politicians, but that doesn't stop it from being their supposed platform.)  Funrunners said "If you are wondering you are still way left" but I am not sure.  So could you explain in more detail how to determine whether something is stolen in your view, and who is the one to determine it.

Also I thought that the left platform is to suggest that with the right cultural context, that people who are in government will choose to act on behalf of their fellow humans based on their evolutionary position or something; but you seem more suspicious of the ability of individuals to transcend the temptations of power.  How can you reconcile this realism with the idealism of what I thought was the far left?
