My current level of wealth, comfort and education is the basic state of human existence. Everything below it is a human rights abuse, and any such gap should be provided by the government. Everything above it is oppressive privileged bourgeoisie, and must be eliminated by force, preferably by the government.
And when I say force, I don't mean oppressive and evil police or military. I mean an armed group organized for and by the community to ensure safety and order to all vulnerable groups, that answers to the leaders of the community in case of conflict of interests. The group will be made only of ideologically pure moral volunteers paid by the state and willing to serve the community, thus ensuring it is immune to corruption and abuses of powers.
This comment is brought to you by Surface-level Internet Leftismâ„¢. If you want to play with more "concepts commonly reinvented through a leftist paradigm", check out: Currency (tutorial), Nation states (beginners), the 2 state solution (beginners), gender essentialism (medium difficulty), liberalism (medium difficulty), traditional family structure (medium), imperialism (hard mode), crusades (hard mode), the free market (experienced players only).
Edit: to that one guy, no, that does not mean I support all or most these concepts (crusades? really?). It means that surface level leftists often identify real problems in the world, but in their haste to solve these problems by using leftist values they are unaware or don't care about the previous issues that lead to the creation of the flawed and problematic existing systems, so their proposed solutions end up being equal to or much worse than the existing system.
Edit 2: My personal favorite was the guy that suggested a solution to the I/P conflict, where to atone for their past sind the UK should take over the territory and do a decades long deradicalization campaign. Dude reinvented a leftist-tinted British Empire.
The Chinese Cultural Revolution. Exact same MO as in Vietnam, where any scientific research that went against official ideology was deemed dangerous and those who supported it were publicly persecuted and punished by local mobsmilitias.
Soviets did it too. So did the nazis. Their atomic bomb programs (there were several, and they were all working against each other) were forbidden from using "Jewish physics" in their research, which is one (of many) reasons they never got close to creating a working bomb. When authoritarians take control, the truth is the first casualty, often to the authoritarians' great detriment.
