I think I understand why he did what he did. I'm half way through the book and he just explained everything that I've been thinking about since highschool. Why does the system seperate the family from each other? Why do leftists always need something to fix/fight against? Why do I owe any of you anything? We truly do live in a SYSTEM(not society).

>Why do leftists always need something to fix/fight against?

Zapffe has a section about this in The Last Messiah, but it's not specifically about Leftists:

>Most “spiritually developed” people demand that these changes have a sort of continuity, direction, or progression. For them, no situation can be ultimately satisfying, they must always go a step further, gathering new information, pursuing a career, and so on. These people suffer from an ineradicable yearning to overstep limits, to demand more and more from life, a restless ambition that is never satisfied. When one’s previous goal is reached, it becomes only a step to some higher goal—the goal itself, in fact, is immaterial; it is the yearning itself that is important. The absolute height of one’s goal is less important than how much higher it is from where one momentarily finds oneself; it is the marginal degree of yearning that counts
