By literal dictionary definition, taking from someone in order to give to someone deserving isn't selfish.
You're correct. It's called stealing.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
The right wing is blatantly selfish, the left wing is the one that wants you to pay their medical bills and daycare.
All people are selfish, it's just that the leftwingers are the ones that try to hide it.

As a left winger, I am against allowing illegal immigrants in, or offering any kind of amnesty to them. My mom and her parents came to the US the legal way, started fresh and succeeded. If they did it the legal way, everyone should.
The left isn't against illegal immigration, except in that we think it shouldn't be illegal. We also believe the burden of the punishment should be upon those who employ illegal labor. Employers are the reason people come here, and employers like illegal labor because they don't have to pay as much, don't have to give benefits, and if they get uppity, can tip off the INS and have them expelled.

Report the Tax Office to the police for stealing, I need a laugh.

Stealing from people who exploit those that make the money for them doesn't seem all that bad. (cough) Robin Hood (cough)
Robin Hood was socialist propaganda, using it as justification for socialist acts is silly.

Robin Hood predates socialism by many hundreds of years.

What are you talking about che, don't you know Cindarella was a communist story, too? The fair grand-mother (the state) gives Cindarella everything she needs to spite her step-family (the capitalists).
The entire Disney collection is just a bunch of Communist propaganda.

The ideology is still the same, che.

Who said anything about communism?
And you're making very stupid conclusions here.
Robin Hood blatantly stole money (literally) stole from people with the money and gave it to people without the money. That's socialism. Cut and dried, not some obscure analogy like you're trying to paint...

People can come up with all sorts of rationalizations for thier theft, Sava. You just happen to have a moral blind spot when it comes to theft from people you don't like.

I thought left-libertarians and social democrats were the same thing (i.e both at the lower-left of the political compass).
Nuh-uh. That political compass is a load of bull's b******s. It's Eysenck's axis you want - Democratic/Autocratic - rather than the faked-up Authoritarian/Libertarian one.
"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman
I guess you're right DinoDoc, what was I thinking, those 144 Enron execs worked hard for the 670 million they got a month before the collapse. Silly me...

Only non-Marxist socialism. Marxism is about people taking control for themselves. I would consider social bandits like Robin Hood heroes though.
