Leftists try to get around the problem that [socialism] creates in practice by using nebulous theories that define their all-powerful, centralized system as “stateless.” Of course, this isn’t stateless in any sense of the word since any authority that has such absolute power over the individual is the worst kind of authoritarianism imaginable. Human beings need to be coerced before they succumb to such a system or they need to be brainwashed. This is why leftists always end up advocating a theory of a “new man” or “new human being,” who will embrace a utopia that could never be accepted by ordinary, fallible, rational human beings. Individuals are obviously miserable when they are treated as slaves and without the right to own property this is what humans become. Only through the envy of success can leftist ideology succeed, as people police one another because they can’t stand to see others do better than them. It doesn’t matter if you call this left libertarianism or some other weasel word, the end result is the same–people that use ideology to justify murder and theft.
