There's a lot of wishful thinking in the Constitution. Don't knock it..
Actually, I've seen quite a few lefties over the years who will admit to preferring something like a "benevolent dictatorship".
In their heart of hearts, they would be quite satisfied to be dictated to, to be satisfied with what the dictator provides, living a simple, subservient, low-key life in which we all work for a greater collective and want for little, all at the cost of certain freedoms and the ability to improve their own lives.
I guess I can see some attraction there, in some ways. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, this notion truly is a utopia, a simplistic pipe dream, it can't happen. But these people are still willing to work towards it, trying to concentrate power in a central authority the best they can.
I suspect there are many more who won't articulate this desire, but still harbor it.
.
Their "visions" truly are fantasies of their own, limited design based on nothing but wishful thinking. They believe that voting for a Socialist Democrat will solve the world's (and their personal) problems.
I'm not knocking the original Constitution. You can be certain of that.
