"The real "haves" are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real "have nots" are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor."
They've been rendered incapable of swimming from the disempowering communistic creed - so they selfishly use and drag others down as their personal life raft.
You're welcome! Eric Hoffer is my favorite Philosopher an astute observer of Human Nature. "Love of power, operating through greed and through personal ambition, was the cause of all these evils."
