The right say that democrats are naive in their fight for good and equality.

I think the right are naive if they think Putin befriending and mirroring them is going make America great again. The whole base on the right has been fooled into voting against their best interests for decades. But for years, and now under Trump, the leadership of the GOP are fools too. There is not enough room on New Zealand for them all to escape there when climate change starts wars and strife and spreads disease. When you share stuff, like good information, justice and equality prevail. Hoarding at the top is how many empires died. Economics and democracy only work when they are dynamic. There are always unintended consequences to any system. The right seems to have consequences they don't care about with things like climate change. (Putin thinks it is great). Think how many brown people will fall off the face of the world as it heats up.
Positive unintended consequences of sharing include: Canada responding to the threat of Quebec separation in the 1970s with deciding to share everything with French canadians including government jobs and language. It was a long time in coming. So generations of English speaking kids in canada have gone to French immersion public school. It was so popular across the country they at times run out of teachers. The unintended result is that kids who have two languages when they are young learn what a concept is much earlier and it helps them their whole life.

The right think they know so much, and they hold back so much from the public, that they can game the planet. They are desperate for more because they don't find meaning in their greater communities. They can't game the planet. They are just not that brilliant or dynamic. Anyone can tear something down. Takes a community to build something substantial. They are the fools. Fools about their own psychology being used against them because they have been schooled in vanity in thinking they came to be successful all on their own, covetedness and nihilism, projected or internalized. They could be self actualized, all-in human, part of a community and feeling lucky instead with the knowledge that whatever happens in the future we will work together to overcome if it is bad. Which way to be would a sharp person pick?
Nihilism is the philosophical viewpoint that suggests the denial or lack of belief towards the reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.Wikipedia
