Yes, I really do think the divide has and always will be capitalism vs communism, private property ownership vs equitable distribution. In some parts of the world and for much of history the left/right divide was serviceable and even helpful to the cause. It’s my opinion the active influence of the American government and the American new-left movement have so badly tarnished the concept of a left/right divide that it’s no longer helpful. Left implies too much and paradoxically excludes so many working class people.
