Confirms my original point.
You attempt to set the premise and define your political opponents based on your ideology.
That doesn't mean your conclusion is necessarily wrong. Communism IS bad. I agree with you. But you have demonstrated ideological bias throughout this thread by creating normative frameworks based on your philosophy.
You're human. Humans do that. Not just liberals.
I'm actually surprised....I've always found you to be truthful.
"Confirms my original point."
No....it does the opposite....it proves, via the actual words of Leftists icons that they believe that they can and will change human nature.
My point has been, throughout, that it cannot be changed and that it must be accepted but tamed.
Some philosophies may better describe human nature than others, but no one philosophy describes human nature in its entirety.
I gave an example earlier that Leftists do very much understand human nature by tapping into the very real need for safety and security and offering a welfare net. You can then argue that Leftists don't understand how that affects motivation, and I would probably agree with you. But that doesn't obviate the fact that the Left has created a system which taps into the deep seated human desire of survival.
Humans are born with sin nature. Sin nature causes humans to naturally want to sin thus naturally choose to sin.
All humans are sinners. All have sinned. All want to sin. All will sin.
