It is those on the
right who take sides, unable to intellectually recognise the nuances
in life that give credence to the complexities of politics. It is the
right who are so sure of themselves. It is the right who polarise
arguments. It is the right who see their enemy as 'Socialism' or 'the
left' conflating a multitude of voices into a single manageable
target. An act of intellectual dishonesty, the right attach the left,
tarring the entirety with the actions or beliefs of the few,
labelling all socialists as evil because of one or two bad people
identifying as socialist.
The point the right
miss is they are wrong to view the left as a single entity. If there
is something they disagree with, they must identify that ideology and
denounce it individually if they are to hold valid political beliefs.
Those reading this with
a sharp wit might notice how I am guilty of the crime I identify: am
I not conflating all voices of the right into a single entity when I
used the term 'the right'? Perhaps, but I don't care. There is barely
a whisper of nuance available in the right wing thinking for me to
see them as anything but a flabby mass of boring shit. The right
identify as the right. They believe in polarisation, making most
right wing ideology the same thing – and it is the same thing: a
pro-corporate agenda.
Practically every
belief the right wing hold leads to upholding corporate power, the
wealthy elite, the existing powers (who are wealthy, corporate
investors). This is the part the right do not get and no matter what
mental gymnastics they do in order to denounce sound left wing ideas,
they always fail to notice that the politics they endorse is the
politics in favour of corporate hegemony over people's democracy.
I am not here to tell
you what to think. Do you think I give a shit what you think? But
when you read any political view, I implore you to question who
ultimately benefits from the execution of those ideas. When a view
actively attacks left wing ideology it is almost always in favour of
corporate power.
