While developing your political beliefs, which was(or is) more commonly a consideration? With freedom obviously comes responsibility. For people who like the ideas and goals of leftism, there could still be worry of people exploiting the system, or not finding motivation without money. A similar belief is the idea that if there were no police, we would all kill each other. The same basic principle is echoed by those who shamelessly proclaim they would also kill people if they didn't have their faith in God.
The basic idea is that your fear of the police or God is the only thing keeping you from killing another human being, and that you would not want to work if you didn't directly benefit. Even if you're like me and you disagree with all of this, the fact that there are so many people who DO think like this could still be the elephant in the room. For me, it's ALWAYS in the room. Even with all the worry however, failure of leftist ideas don't scare me as much as successful capitalist ideas.
Me being an optimist(for my own sanity), for the most part, I think more about what good could come if we're successful. Some days though..
