Its not really leftist, but it holds some meaning to me still.
Heres my idea. Its a knife or a dagger of some sort, with a snake wrapped around it. the knife stabs through the snake, and the snake wraps around the knife and back, and the snake eats its own tail, like an ouroboro.

The knife symbolizes all the shit and the bad stuff in our world, the snake wrapped around the knife represents me trying to control and change things. The knife going through the snake represents me being bound to it.

I don't know what do you guys think? is it stupid?

Also, if someone wouldn't mind doing a little graphic work, I've only made a crude drawing of it, cause I'm a horrible drawer, and I'd like the tattoo artist to make the right thing lol.

It sounds pretty cool. I like the notion of the snake eating itself - always a neat idea.

If you are looking for a sketch, I would suggest scouring the internet for alternative ideas involving what you have mentioned. Then take a couple of them into the tattoo parlor and tell the artist what you want, and give him/her some pics for ideas. This should help the artist get a grasp on your tattoo and they will sketch one out for you. You can then decide if that's what you want, or ask for something different/make suggestions.

Good luck.
