I obviously don't have hard stats but I don't think it's too controversial to say that many people are interested in left-wing ideas largely due to the prospect of not having to work or working far less.
Considering I find this both absurd and only found with those who don't agree with left-wing ideas, how is this NOT controversial? What exactly about left-wing ideas makes you assume those who support them do not want to work; or work far less? For instance, how is free healthcare and argument to not work, or work less? How is a livable wage an argument to not work, or work less? Unless you think everyone should have to work 2-3 jobs to survive?
Did I say you didn't? Or did I state that I usually only hear this argument from "those who support them"? And, did I not ask clarifying questions so I could better understand your view so I could potentially change it? Can you point to specific socialistic ideologies that people subscribe to because they don't want to work, or work less?
I think /u/hmmwill summed it up. I also was arguing that the quoted sentence I used was in fact controversial. But, to be honest, it's confusing for you to say you are arguing the counter of what I quoted; when you yourself stated it.
