The Calling of the Left

Leftism is the tendency of a person to challenge orthodox views to see a change in the way things are. Leftists believe in the equality of all people. Then why am I so fascinated in this. I believe that all people are equal. Some might be stronger,wiser or wealthier but we all have rights. We earned these rights the moment we were born. These rights are: to be free,to live and to pursue happiness. Even if we are different racially that doesn't make a difference. Those rights are given to us by the Supreme Being we had chosen to believe. I also think that the government should be directly answerable to the people it serve. True democracy can only be achieve if all of the people in a nation participates, if all of the people in a nation cares. Other than that, any supposed-to-be democratic nations that is not run thru direct democracy can only be considered as an oligarchy, an alliance of the rich and the powerful each one pulling a string on the supposedly powerful executive. That's the reason why they have stayed in power too much. That's the reason why the our country and numerous else third world countries have not developed at all. Economists, staticticians, bankers and other persons might say differently but let's not forget they are the same oligarchs whose support the government craves for. They will show graphs, paper showing the economy prospered and continues to prosper, statistics about how greatly improved the common way of life has, but does it really matter for the millions of people who view each day as some kind of survival of the fittest, wherein if they won't work, they won't eat? That's the very reason leftism holds such a charm on these people, us. We aren't born well-endowed, let alone powerful but we still believe that change would never take place unless we take the initiative and work for ourselves because we know that even though the government talks all day and night about how concerned it is, it simply does not have the will to initiate a change. Will the leftist change that we will be superimposing on our nation be successful or will it plunge us deeper? We might never know but we will be sure of one thing: we made a difference and that's what it's all about.
