What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people — like themselves — need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.

The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends.

社會主義、法西斯主義和其他左派意識形態的共同點在於，它們假設有些極其聰明的人——像他們自己一樣——需要從我們這些較低等的人手中奪走決策權，並通過政府命令強行實施這些決策。

左派勢力所設想的不僅僅是世界觀，更是一種自我觀，將自己視為追求崇高目標的優越存在。
