Are people who identify as seriously Left (Im not talking about - TopicsExpress



          

Are people who identify as seriously Left (Im not talking about Democratic liberals, who are on the right as Im concerned) any more decent and caring than people who dont? In my experience as a lifelong Lefty, the answer actually is no, not really (I have seen and dealt with egregious, full-on sociopathic and evil behavior and characters on the Left for as long as I can remember). Whats less clear to me is whether or not this is a problem...whether it is fair and otherwise reasonable to expect us to be morally better people than liberals, conservatives (right-wingers) and other non-left non radicals. I guess my initial sense (informed in part by George Orwells remarkable 1940 [I think] essay on Charles Dickens, a defense of Dickenss moralism and case for decency) is that it is a problem and that we ought to be more decent than the rest.
