In-Group Intolerance
There seems to be a contradiction wherein those who align by the same moniker under a collectivist ideology appear to be less tolerant of one another's contradictions than those who do not belong to the same
This is because it becomes more crucial within that those contradictions mean that the driving force and particular goals of that collectivist ideology have now been usurped or altered by the antithesis. This is always a good thing for the overall process, but it means that its current configuration is untenable and the resulting transformation always has the capacity to destroy.

There are better ways to make progress
You can't just enforce the conditions. It goes against human nature, nature, the universe. You have to allow things to blossom and then you get those optimizations. You don't just force them because then it just becomes more costly in every regard. En masse, by aggregate, per unit resource; everything just becomes more expensive.
Left-Right Paradox
There's a paradox of Leftism in the sense that it doesn't have a specific endpoint but it has a process of redefining terms so that it can gain power to specify how things move towards a potential endpoint.
When it does this, the previous definition for the previous term becomes the new Right, and everything has to move towards the new definition or it is Right.
However, that desire to achieve control and eventually have everything consolidated within the specification of the subject who's conceiving of this new definition and using it to advance towards the endpoint of that subject. That desire - that fate - is far right.

The best thing to do is to consolidate power in the world in such a way that preserves your ability to do that. You call this sustainability and you say that for those who think like you and deserve to benefit from it (the smart ones), it's perfect because the resources will not be wasted and you'll be able to continue with the existence of humanity and whatever that might entail.
But for everyone else who doesn't think like you - they're just not fully human are they!
Kernels of Truth
There are, of course, kernels of truth to all these stories of oppression where we look to financial incentives and corruption for greed of power. The difference is that everyone stops following the chain of logic when they find a spot where it suits their needs.
Demand
They demand that there is a form and a structure with which to proceed - a set of instructions and a ruleset and an understanding that the degree t o which
