@ Of course I would never presume to think I could "rectify" the envy
and ingratitude that drives leftist behavior.

The only way the spiritual pathology of leftism can be cured is by
consciously cultivating a spirit of gratitude. In order to do this,
one "will have to stop comparing himself to others, but for the
envious person this is difficult to do, since their envy is a sort of
addiction. At the very least, it is a central organizing principle in
the leftist psyche, so that abandoning it will lead to feelings of
guilt and self-reproach. For example, a leftist who attempts to
overcome his envious mind parasite might hear the voice if an
internal propagandist telling him that he is bad and greedy, just
like those evil capitalists! [right-wingers]"
