This week I tackle the thorny problem of the left/right divide. I dive into political history from the Magna Carta and French Revolution to the World Wars and the subsequent total war which has made the left/right distinction obsolete. Even though these are concepts whose time was really the 19th century, we are still bogged down in left, right, socialist, capitalist; in reality, the coordinates of political struggle are quite different. Dive in as I begin an analysis on the Left/Right distinction, where it came from, and what we need to do to get around it.
