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]"

How is a "traditional" lefty different in his
definitions?
