I may have some personal experience with a full blow leftist.
My older brother is unfortunately one of them. He is unhappy in his marriage, his health and his job and blames society for all of that. His dream society would be one were he can stay and read all day, not have to work, his wife doing everything. For some reason he thinks that communism and woke ideology would solve every one of his problem.
He somehow believes that under communism he does not have to work, despite the fact that under communism everyone worked. He also believes that he must be "on the gender spectrum" so he does not have to work towards a masculine ideal and be an actual husband and an actual father.
What he hates is people proving him wrong, people who work hard, workout, strive to be good husbands and fathers and are happy about it. So he likes any ideology that would hurt the average guy.
I can also answer this: they sat on their asses while people like me had to pay the bills.
It captured communism and socialism perfectly: middle class working hard only to get heavily taxed to pay for deadbeats to remain deadbeats.
I saw it for the microcosm for what it was and made it my mission to work myself out of that situation. Am still in it, but have established a plan to get out.

So how did you turn out differently from your brother?
I am very interested in people who come from the same (or similar) situations, and yet end up on opposite sides of the spectrum.

What if, there was NO spoon? Would you have even known it was there, if I hadn't told you? -The inner matrix
