The left includes socialists and communist elements. Both infringe upon people's private property rights. The politics of the left are based in a particular morality that views private property as inherently evil. They do not always voice this in an articulate way, however, the politics of the left requires them to see the right as the problem and private property as inherently problematical. Ultimately, they cannot permit property rights because at the deepest level property rights conflicts with their moral agenda and their very legitimacy. If the left learned to respect private property they would realize the lefts claim they or the state has a right to infringe upon or nullify property ownership has no moral legitimacy.
