Power is the Opiate of the Left

I have been told a few times that I should be tolerant of opposing points of view. Such tolerance is hardly appropriate when the opposing point of view is designed to enslave, plunder, or kill you. There should be no tolerance of leftism in any form, for it is a murderous, evil doctrine that at best reduces all of humanity (except the ruling class) to mediocrity, and at worst, kills us by government.

 Much has been said about how the Leftist allegedly begins his career: he sees poverty and human misery, and wants to help. He can't afford to help on his own, because he dreams of ending all human suffering. The thought of finding just one man and helping him directly apparently never occurs to him. Instead, he gets the idea that the government, with it's enormous treasury, can do the job. Ending all poverty is difficult for one man to accomplish.  Well, why take the weight of the world on your shoulders? Just go out on the street, find someone in dire need, and help that person directly, with your own money, and with your own compassion. Why force others to do so?
