"To live on the left is to live optimistically, believing in progress despite
set backs, hoping despite frequent disappointment, urging progress against right
wing nostalgia for illusory “better yesterdays”. Life on the left means trusting
that the better side of human nature can prevail against selfishness and greed.
Good argument can always persuade enough people to see that a more socially just
society is in everyone’s best interests. Life on the left means an instinctive
defence of the underdog against the over-privileged, rooting for the have-nots
against the power of the have-yachts."
