Critical thinking and left-wing politics do not mix. The core fundamentals of left wing politics are envy, government-owned monopolies and a blind historically unjustified faith in authority; Trotsky Lenin and Stalin knew this and acted accordingly. It's endemic among primitive tribes and "effete" parasitic non-producers. The self-organizing natural order with some people at the top, some people in the middle and some people in the bottom is a feature of (re)publican market cultures. This ansatz has long-lasting benefits both in physical wealth and social structures such as trade, technology and marriage .
