Because we are so focused on the real world, we keep forgetting how fantasy-driven the Left really is.. As with orthodox Marxists, the left adamantly believes it is "Progressive", implying that its adherents know the inevitable and virtuous outcome of history. In the Soviet Union the Party truly believed every five years that Stalin's commands to fix agriculture were bound to work.. Lenin and Stalin killed tens of millions of "rich peasants" without ever learning how to feed their country. . James Lewis
About This Quote

This quote provides a glimpse into the ideology of the marxist left. Leftists believe that they are on the right side of history and will always be victorious. They do not understand that real world politics can cause problems for them. In this case, the left is trying to make a revolution in a country where they don't have control yet.

The problem with communism is that it has never been tried on a large scale before and no one really knows how it would work out. This is why many leftists see it as "progressive" to attack people who are not in their team.
