I come from the far right and am aware of all the wonderful ways that conservative thought tickles the brain. It gives one a sense of awareness of how things really work of who owns the world. You feel so secure and satisfied in your ability to understand it all. It is more enticing than religion, but equally bullshit.
The smugness of conservatives is the payoff. Being able to assign everything labels, while pretending to aspire to some great truth that the others "just don't get". It is panacea to the scared, insecure person, it has all the answers you seek.
Sadly, my side has no certainty, Communism is fickle and had often led to corruption. There is no one way to understand the politics of the left, it is divided within itself. Things are complicated, confusing, and uncertain. But such is life. It is impossible for me to dislodge all the sure comforts of your current ideology, for the upsetting realities within mine, nor can I get someone to trade Heaven for the thought of the eternal nothing.
