Why do lefties keep adding the phrase "in society" to the end of sentences?

They talk about "The most vulnerable In Society", "the poorest In Society", "the richest In Society". But the "in society" bit adds nothing to the meaning. Often they say "In Our Society" equally pointlessly

Are there people they intend to exclude by the 'in society' qualification? Or are they just repeating each others phrases without engaging brain at any point?

It's their attempt to divide and rule. Ultimately, it ends up with everybody at the bottom (in the name of 'fairness'), except their small party elite lording it up over everyone.

Because society is a cornerstone of socialist ideology, and emphasising it positions the rest of the sentence in that ideological context. They moan equally about how capitalists are always banging on unnecessarily about "the markets".

It's called having a different perspective.

So do they not consider capitalists part of 'society'?

Of course they do. The taxes have to come from somewhere.
