I’m starting to believe that the economic left and right are completely arbitrary distracters…

like, in the US, I’m a water boy sitting on one end of the net in a game of tennis, watching the Democrats and Republicans whack the ball back and forth while creeping further and further from me. I have to run further and further every match to bring them water, and these days, I gotta climb the far fence too.

Does anyone else here get the impression that the notion of economic liberty is inseparable from its social counterpart? like I’m utterly confused about the top-right and bottom-left of the classic political compass.
