Socialism and the left is entirely based on envy and covetousness.
Deut5v21You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Or today we might say, "You shalt not covet your neighbour's house car salary holidays etc."
Yet that is exactly what the equal distribution of wealth of socialism means, "Vote for me and I will take your neighbour's money and give it to you!"
Socialism panders to the ungodly covetousness and greed in society.
What an asinine and embarrassingly simplistic perception of why most proponents advocate for socialist-lite policies. I can barely fathom how much imagination and how little listening and understanding it takes to contrive such drivel.
As far as I've seen, the attitudes among the left are mostly driven by concern for the poor and less-advantaged as well as more than a little resentment towards how the wealthy have structured things to ensure that they continue to enjoy those advantages at the expense of others. Such attitudes do not remotely constitute "envy and covetousness", but rather hew more closely to "justice" and "fairness".
Your position is also rather hypocritical given that capitalism - particularly the modern incarnation of it - literally cannot work without self-interest. Modern marketing is built on engendering the desire to be as good as, or better than, your peers.
