No offense taken, and I suppose I could have expressed that part more clearly.
Basically, I think the leftist thinkers and politicians I was mostly referring to are full-blown socialists and communists who begrudgingly admit that their utopia is unfeasible at the moment and they can't just socialize all property right now, but they can work their way towards it in the name of social justice, social liberties and all that nice-sounding stuff.
