Yup

Instapundit:
LEFTISM DEFINED? “He prefers the inequality that comes from a government hierarchy, over inequality that comes from voluntary trade.” I always figure that people who feel this way do so because they think they’re better at sucking up to authority figures than at creating value on their own. And my guess is, they’re right about that.

True ... though I'd now have used the phrase "authority figure," as that the phrase's plain meaning has been polluted by leftists, so as to conflate the raw exercise of compulsion (which they like) with the proper exercise of grounded authority (which they hate).
