I don’t know of any liberals/Democrats/progressives/marxists/leftists on the current American political scene who have demonstrated any genuine humility.

All of them that I am aware of crave political power because they desire to play God with other people’s lives. And that is the beginning of the path to embracing evil.

All of them have been corrupted by the thirst for power. All of them have been corrupted into believing that they are special, that they are better than other people, that they are more moral, and that they deserve to rule others and dictate how others live. (One could argue that this attitude is the essence of lefty politics.)

All of them that I have observed have “othered” the people who do not agree with them. They have drunk the kool-aid that those who disagree are racist, sexist, etc. That those who disagree with them are bad people. Undeserving people. People who deserve to be punished. People who deserve to be ruled. Need to be ruled. And denied access to power. Lefties are morally defective.

Sorry if this seems harsh, but these people ARE evil. Based on what they do. On what they say they support and want. On how they treat others.

We don’t differ too much on this, because I lump groups 1 and 2 together on the Machiavellian side.

I think you need to do a trinary breakdown, Neo:

1 — Just in it for the power — — this bunch is the high level movers and shakers, with a good chunk of Antifa types.
2 — power is important for my team, but “virtue” is just as important — this is the rest of Antifa.
3 — Virtue! Virtue! Virtue! — this group is mostly a collection of “useful idiots”.

Now, the key thing to grasp is that “losing power” to class three is not virtuous, because you lose the ability to impose your virtues on others.

So power is central to all three, but it is a question of how overt and how self-deluding they are about it.

That said, my breakdown would be
1 — 15%
2 — 25%
3 — 60%

Class three is the mobocracy. They’re the ones who rabidly try and stomp on anyone outside the herd. Often they are “given direction” (aka: “Look at THIS!! What a bastard!”) by the other two.

Yep, intimidation and harassment have become cutting-edge morality for the Democrats and their enablers.
The violence provided by their antifa stormtroopers simply ices the cake as far as they’re concerned. (Antifa is of course only an “idea”…)
