We often wonder why many who have chosen to live in the Culture of Death are so angry. That anger crystallizes in a hatred of life, one that is commonly expressed by their support of needless, painful, early deaths caused by abortion, poverty, tyrannical governments, and homosexuality.
Sometimes, their anger is passed on to them by parents who are angry. More often, it comes from within themselves. Letters to Karl Marx from his comparatively kind and loving father make clear his puzzlement at the extraordinary hatred that possessed his son.
The Programmer created us in such a way that we had to form governments and social structures in which some have more than others. Even the supposedly egalitarian Communists, who made careers of looting first the rich, then the middle-class, then everyone, had a structure in which the powerful in the Party had dachas, chauffeured limousines, tailor-made suits, and wore huge, glittering Rolexes on their wrists.
In societies where disparities of wealth are related to intelligence, imagination, and diligence, qualities largely lacking in the left, people who have more because of those things become the targets of hatred upon which the energies of the envious are invariably focused.
Many leftists are angry because their parents were not wealthier. They hate the thought of having to work, especially for someone else. At the same time, their vanity does not prompt them to hate those who have more if those who have it made it by stealing from their neighbors with naked, governmental power. They know that their own emotional attitudes and intellectual attributes make it possible for them to succeed as well in such a society, so they work hard to impose totalitarianism with them in charge. Rarely do they realize how easily they are manipulated by both the more intelligent, and the more hate-filled, leftists.
Many who have inherited vast amounts of money are completely leftist. The awareness of leftist power, combined with the fear of being hated by other leftists, makes many heirs whose own intellectual capacities have regressed to the mean become leftists, themselves.
Most who become wealthy by their own efforts in the few semi-free societies that remain are, at heart, cheerful, hard-working, and optimistic. Those who enter into the Culture of Death are quite the opposite.
