Left and right are terms that have been redefined by the ruling classes to place each of their talking points within the realm of acceptable conversation.

No longer is a leftist argument one of worker rights or nationalization of industry. Leftist themes revolve around the non-revolutionary issues that don’t rock the boat. Also, conservative dialogue is no longer about sustainability or the environment or appropriate allocation of public resources. Rightist dialogue is now inflammatory but innocuous to the oligarchy

Great power comes from fomenting hate among the people over things that don’t challenge your power.
