The left-right scale is by Marxists, for Marxists. It describes a fight between international vs national socialism. Liberty is not even in consideration. It ONLY describes two ethics by which society will be reconstructed from the top down.

Don't believe me? Why do you think conservatives, true liberals, and libertarians are forced onto the scale at the "right", next to fascists and Nazis? There is nothing in common between them. The former three want a free society where the individual rules their life. The latter two want a centralized society where the state rules the individual's life for some arbitrary greater goal.

We must reject ALL of socialism's useless political constructs. Marxist theories and terminology and hypotheses CANNOT describe the world as people on the ground see it, which is why they are losing around the world. STOP feeding their stupid narratives by using their terminology.

The "left/right" scale is collectivist on both sides. The only true change must be perpendicular away from collectivism and towards individualism.
