In my ideal state most leftist policy proposals are fully unconstitutional, and vote is linked to being a net tax payer. You don't vote if you are on welfare basically (that includes the portion of retirement which is welfare, disability, unemployment and everything else). And you don't vote if you are a public employee.
Basically you don't vote to assign to yourself other people stuff lol. You can get the vote at any time by stopping take other people money. Or lose the vote if you want other people money.
My ideal state is open border at no welfare, so domestically having citizenship or not shouldn't matter much. If you want welfare in the model, that's strictly for citizens only, and insurance based only, and you become one by paying a lot of net taxes basically (you pay for the club membership) . After that if you later on are in need you get the welfare.
But most leftist proposals about the role of the state would be constitutionally banned. From the ownership of all productive assets (except those needed to fulfill the very few strictly limited roles of the state, like it's ok for the state to own the building where the judges conduct trials), to redistributive welfare in general, to drug regulation and so on and on.
Taxes would be flat as a percentage of income with a cap (*in the constitution*), deficits strictly limited constitutionally, expenses all with sunset clauses no exception, and so on and on.
