.... because success isn't in their mindset.
Their definition of success is the control of human beings. That's an incorrect interpretation of the very word 'success' (but they can't appreciate that paradox).
Leftistism - essentially - using the most fundamental principles - are all based on control.
Control is based on a restriction of...(insert whatever you like, it's all the same).
IF your most fundamental thought process are based on restriction and control, you can never fully understand the concept of freedom and expansion.
Expansion is a natural dynamic throughout nature, not just man. Grow or die..
It does not compute to the leftist brain -in a very real level. It can be understood as an intellectual exercise, but that is far from the same thing.
No feeling of the absolute joy of expansionism, means no true understanding of it.
Oil and water.
And the two will not marry. Sure, you can blend it up a little and emulsify it, but add time and it will will always lead to separation.
A little like the last 80 years or so...
We are now at the final stages of separation, I believe - which is reflected in the violent divisions within politics, and in peoples lives.
Unless you change the fundamental operating system , the separation will continue to be a reality, and I am not convinced this will not always be the case.
A constant conflict, if you will, of two separate psyches. ('r' gene and 'k' gene theory, supports this position to some degree).
And if that is the way things are?
Well -that's life. Deal with it. For now.
But it doesn't change the point of this post – The left can never – ultimately – win.
The trick for the sane side of humanity, is nipping the evil in the bud before the essential genocides start – which appears to be an inevitability in left doctrines.
The basic perspective of control and repression will never win against the human spirit of adventure, exploration, and an overriding desire to feel free . (if not truly, actually, free – the feeling of being free).
And this basic fundamental feeling is essential in the human being.
Leftist doctrine has to squash that feeling, for it to ever gain power.
Hence it can never win.
When political ideology conflicts with basic human desires, I will put money on the the human being winning -every time- no matter how bloody the conflict to achieve this.
The left are doomed to failure from the very beginning - because of their basic miscalculation and premise that the human being can be controlled, and be happy.
They are fucked, essentially... and always have been from the very moment that control of peoples was seen as a valid way to govern.
It might take a year, decade or even a century to fall to pieces- but fall to pieces it always will.
People need to feel free.
And when people start to not feel free, the pressure will start to grow for change....
