  You just described the left part of left vs right.

    I disagree.
    Left is more than wealth. Left is often reffered to socialism or liberalism. Either cases have at its core nothing to do with wealthy at all. Its not because your local politics have the left as wealthy fuckwads that this is everywhere.

    That said, dont get me wrong, this is some terrible shit to say and the wealthy should piss off.

      Liberalism is not left wing.

        Liberalism is the ONLY left wing.

      You can disagree with me all you want. You’re extremely misinformed, though. An entire life of propaganda made you believe some weird shit, but socialism is unequivocally about wealth distribution and liberalism is undoubtedly right-wing.

      I didn’t understand your comment about local politics. Mostly because you can’t possibly know where i’m from, and calling the left ‘wealthy fuckwads’ is just bizarre.

    So you’re trying to gaslight people into thinking that wealthy people only represent the left or the right? Rofl.

      No. I’ve read enough theory to know that the left understands the world as a struggle between two classes: capitalists and workers.

      The right believes in meritocracy, the invisible hand of the market, and risking capital as the most valuable asset.

      Of course there are poor people leaning right. There is not a single leftist billionaire, though.

      …oh, and in case you’re from the United States (you act as if you were): Both of your political parties are right-wing. Your ‘radical leftist politicians’ are centrists at best. Right-wingers don’t become leftists because they’re ok with giving some human rights to the population.

    No. The true left is all about freedoms and rights - liberal democracy. What you call left is the same authorisation shit as right.

      True democracy is when the majority (the workers) gets what it wants/needs over the minority (the rich). Does this sort of system prevail anywhere in the world?

        It works that way pretty much everywhere but the US.
