Leftist is just a term used to describe people
who feel the Government should provide everything.

I am left handed, Yet I am a conservative.
there are not a lot of left handed people so
left was used to describe people who had
a strange sense of political options from
what use to be the norm, the norm being
that people use to be more self dependent
on them self, never wanted the government
hand outs as much as they wanted their
freedom to be left alone independent of
the government.

But each generation becomes more and more
dependent on the government and less self
dependent on their own abilities.

These leftist people are the ones that will
have a harder time of things, when the government crashes and can no longer
support these people, but the conservatives
still practice the skill of being independent on
ones self. so will not have as hard of a time.

The depression was one example of a government crash, but back then, more people
where skilled in being independent on them self.

today it's a different story.
