Here is the Vulcan mind-meld translation of the language of the Left: you have no right to live. Therefore, you have no right to the fruits of your labors. By their lights, you are no more than a thing, an animal, or a machine. A 'resource'. There’s the last 200 years of leftist philosophy in a nutshell.

And now you have the reason why Leftists aer unfit to live in a free society. Ever.

If not, you're dead meat. Literally.

I become more convinced each passing day that the "nutshell" of the philosophy of the Left can be summarized as the total abrogation of all Natural Rights and Natural Law.
