The ‘Disease’ That Drives The Democrats
I & I Editorial Board
April 15, 2026


Argentina President Javier Milei recently had some sharp words for the political left. But his observation is backed by more than his experience. Research makes it clear that the various strains of leftism, from today’s American Democratic Party to Democratic Socialists to green radicals to the tens of millions of voters who are attracted to progressive candidates and policies, are fueled by an emotional crisis. We beg our brothers and sisters on the left to consider why they do what they do.

Milei, a defender of laissez-faire economic policy, said he once “thought being on the left was a mental problem.” But what he eventually “discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul.”

It is “built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law,” he said during a television appearance. Leftists and “are very violent,” and because “they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

Contemporary examples of this are Antifa’s thuggery, the organized aggression toward and abuse of ICE agents and other federal officers enforcing immigration law, and the useful idiots who rioted over George Floyd’s death.

Dems' resentment, spite, envy, etc., is spiritually corroding from the inside out.

Loosing is part of the game, but, so is a come back.

Trump wants a do-over for 2020.  Dems want do-overs for 2016 and 2024.  Meanwhile, a great nation languishes under the neglect of Government that is too inwardly focused on rewriting and revising the past.

The future is now.  Our Government should step forward to meet it.

IMHO this nails the spiritual rot at the base of the Left's actions and behaviour.

It isn't about what is best for the country, it has become a contest of who has the most power. Unfortunately, the Left concentrates on  using that power only to obtain more power, and like any addict, doesn't care who or what is hurt in that process (and that includes all of us). When they don't get their way, because at their core they can't make arguments to support their position rationally, they strike out with violence at the street level and totalitarianism from the top, using the power they do have to defend the shock troops at the bottom and attack anyone in their way.

It's more about POWER!   And communism is the vehicle,  so I'm going to agree with you on this one.

But, in a nutshell, Communism boils down to greed by those who would run things, and envy by the ones who they trick into putting them in power. If they harness the envy of those who don't have as much as they think they should, they get power--which clears the path to them having all they want, devil take the hindmost if a bullet doesn't get them first.
