The mystery of socialism's origins explained.
[This related article is recommended in its entirety.]
“For a very long time now, I have been turning over this question in my mind: What is it that makes a leftist? Where do leftists come from? How is it possible that sentient human beings, endowed with reason, memory, and foresight by their Creator, or by the evolutionary demiurge, can zealously adopt a political position so contrary to both good sense and common sense — and what is more, remain glued to its premises in the face of all contradictory evidence? For despite the miserable failure of socialist experiments the world over and from time immemorial, the determined leftist does not budge from his ideological sanctum and will invent every conceivable, or rather inconceivable, excuse to validate the soundness of his principles and justify every subsequent social and political miscarriage these principles bring about. […] We live in truly amazing times, vibrant with unexpected discoveries. Such a mutation, if that is what it is, would go a long way to clearing up the once-insoluble mystery of the existence of the liberal-left among us. Some will no doubt find it comforting to learn that we are not alone. Extra-terrestrial life has always been here and SETI can now turn its gaze earthward to examine the galactic specimens we have long wondered about. The shadow biosphere, which in the course of evolutionary time gradually developed into a pervasive and anthropocidal psychosphere, is still a theory. But it accounts for much that continues to puzzle us about the various noxious manifestations of hominid-type behavior.”

Though David Solway engages in some fanciful speculation about the migrations of the perpetually perplexed among us, I suspect their origin is more prosaic. Sadly, leftist are merely the gauche products of unproductive lives.
To add insult to injury, their lack of interest in the vast legacy of human experience leads them to the monotony of continually re-inventing all the unworkable ideas of their antecedents. Moreover, they are generally of the opinion that their inherent "genius" will spring forth effortlessly from their pores without having to invest much sweat from their brows.
They are somehow genetically affiliated with mosquitoes, and like the latter pestilence, all one can do is keep swatting the bloodsuckers away, knowing that a new swarm is undoubtedly festering in a cistern near you.
