The blindness of leftists to elemental aspects of human nature is painful to 
see at times.  Competition is how humans work, and that fact is everywhere 
and 
at all times evident.  The idea that humans work =primarily= by cooperation 
is 
hopelessly naive and stupid.

There are no non-exploitative human relationships.  Every word, every 
gesture 
made between people is a bid for recognition, influence, status in 
competition 
with everyone else.

Human beings are hierarchical animals.  Subvert one heirarchy, as the 
leftist 
social engineers attempt to do, and another one will spring up automatically 
to replace it.  Thus in the leftist "utopias" the more natural competition 
of 
the free market was always replaced by competition for status within the 
party 
and the bureaucracy as a means of controlling the economy.

In general, people only believe leftist nonsense because they have to.  They 
have to because their own self image is so dependent on fiction.  They can't 
acknowledge the competitiveness in themselves (and many other negative 
things 
about themselves), so they can't see it in the people with whom they 
identify.
 (They do, of course, project it onto people they don't like, even when, or 
perhaps especially when it's not appropriate.)

Why are you here posting on this forum?  For the good of everyone else?  If 
so, then why the disdainful tone of all of your posts?  A bit of competitive 
nature there, perhaps?

There is only one thing that can be said to folks who subscribe to such 
tripe 
as the leftist ideal, the idea that we can all live on a commune somewhere, 
that we will all share and share alike and that competition isn't a natural 
aspect of the human condition.  And that is, "Grow Up."

Leftists have always refused to own up to the real world consequences of 
their 
ideas.
