Though of course, push too hard to the sides, and you can tip over a slippery slope, on the right, it’s the mechanism of wealth and power consolidation, with the rich able to accumulate wealth (and therefor power) faster, since “it takes money to make money”, and on the left it’s more a mere ideological slip up, to a totalitarianising fervency.
Big baron terrorises with scare stories of big brother. Big brother terrorises with scare stories of big baron. Both terrorising everybody towards totalitarianism and tyranny.

Freedom first, where we can have meaningful discussion about our economic balance and how to organise things.
