Look, all the differences between any form of right wing and left wing come down to one single difference in thougt: right wingers think people are livestock that must be corralled and controlled in order to maximise the profit that can be extracted from them; left wingers think that people are... well, you know, people.
That's a binary choice. There's no middle ground between considering people people and considering them product. Don't come at me with “but some people”, you monstrous bastards. Any so called centrist saying otherwise is either a right winger trying to control you and extract profit from you, or an idiot scammed by one into promoting their bullshit.
People are people. All of us. And if you want them to treat you like you'd want them to treat you, you'd better do the same back, not because of some religious nonsense, but because otherwise society collapses into a brutal free for all, and your chance of coming on top is infinitesimally small, no matter how loaded a hand you were born with. And even if win the bastard lottery and end up on top, so what? You'll die soon enough like any other of us, shitting and pissing yourself as you go, and you can't take any of your stolen wealth with you. You'll just be remembered as that monstrous bastard who took everything and gave back nothing and made life worse for everyone else, may you rest in piss. Might as well use that wealth to help people and make the world better for everyone, but of course you wouldn't have been able to amass all that stolen wealth to start with if you had even a shade of humanity in your rotten mind.
When the choice is treating people as people, or not, there's no middle ground, there's no appeasement, there's no compromise.
You're either for humanity, or against it.
