  “Left” and “right” are not synonymous with “democrat” and “republican.”

  Can you explain how?

    I think what they’re referring to is how the ruling class likes using the “right vs left” rhetoric to distract us from the “ruling class vs. Working class” / class consciousness rhetoric. It’s a good way to keep us divided.

    That being said, the right wing people are being used as pawns by the ruling class to sow that division whereas the left-wing people tend to be more class-conscious. What this person is specifically referring to, though, is the tendency for the democratic party (a capitalist party) to be called “left” when they are not.

    Correct me if I’m wrong tho

      Yeah I guessed as much too, but I wanted to be sure so I could tailor my response to the individual, we need to meet people where they are and help them reach the next step on the ladder to class consciousness
