I keep reading people I otherwise agree with either attacking the “right” (aka far right) or the “left” (aka far left). So for example, being against genocide is “far left” and being in favour of genocide is “far right”. But what has it got to do with left or right? Nothing at all. What has a vibrant economy where everyone does well have anything to do with left or right? Nothing at all. A right wing … is the few at the top doing very well and the rest starving, a left wing is the many at the bottom doing better than the few at the top. Both are basket case economies that are doomed to failure.

Why do we have left v. right. I think the simple reason is this: because it suited large blocks. First the trade unions  … who are really no different from an old boys club, saw growing left as a means for the unionists to get power … and those unions were also very easy for foreign governments to manipulate and so for a long time they were used by foreign powers to undermine economies.

So, those who wanted a vibrant economy often found themselves in conflict with the foreign power controlled left. Then along came yet more foreign powers who wanted mass migration from SW Asia and who wanted to destroy western culture by perverting our values. So, again the self-labelled “left” became a means to push through racist and other bigotted policies in the name of “woke”. But those bigoted racist woke policies have nothing to do with being “left”. The use of bigoted policies and attacks on any who opposed the bigoted policies as being … “bigoted” … likewise racist policies and attacks on any who opposed the racist policies as being … “racist”, might be a hallmark of the “labour” parties that once were, but there’s nothing left or right about such evil attacks on society for daring to be proud to have its own moral values and sticking up for them.

The real nature of society

What I do see is that enormous numbers of people don’t value the trinkets of “wealth” that are dangled in front of the people to force them to “get a good education” become “model woke citizens” and then “work your socks off till you die” (for the glory of the politicians). Huge numbers have seen through that lie. They want time with their friends and family and if that means sacrificing “wealth” then they are prepared to make that sacrifice.

In what way is that “left” or “right”? Valuing your own family ahead of the paper value economics label as “wealth”? The paper is worthless … as the politicians keep reminding us as they print more and more of it. Families are not. Friends are not. The “wealthy” are the ones that have a good life, not because they have lots of bits of worthless paper with an IOU note from a government that constantly deflates the value of that IOU note, but because they have the life they want irrespective of how government values their life or their priorities.

That is the real nature of society, and it doesn’t have a “left” or a “right”.

Instead “left” and “right” are created in order to maintain the fiction of two parties with two alternative directions “left” and “right”, in order to stop us ever being able to ask for any other way to decide our future.

They are pure fictions, intended to distract us from our own priorities.
