I’ve actually asked marxists if they would rather have everyone be poor and equal, or have no one be poor but have large differences in wealth, and been told that they would rather everyone be equal, even if it meant being poor…

Wow! Just wow! I never realized their mentality stooped this low.

I think this is due to something basic in leftists’ psyche. It’s why they are completely oblivious to notions like comparative advantage or individual initiative (though I may be confounding cause and effect to some extext).
