I guess that's why he's "alt" right
The Alt is Latin for "Not Really" :^)
He adopted the racial obsession of the far right
"It's not orange, it's alt-red..."
And socialism from the far left
Is the right specifically racially obsessed?
Racial obsession isn't only a far right thing.
And I believe he wants an arostocracy?
I mean, of course he does.
With a king?
He talks and dresses like a damned aristocrat.
He fancies himself a nobleman.
And that's far right as well
Like that bald hyper capitalist monarchist polish dude
With a bowtie
I don't think the left right divide is entirely useless, its just that america has a different version,
What utility does it have that specific ideological labels don't have and execute better?
Personally, I see it as -
Communism/Marxism far left.
Monarchism/Theocracy far right
That's a false dichotomy though
And that's the thing, either you're sandwiching multiple often conflicting and contradictory ideas into one "side"
And you're allowing nutjobs to adopt generic labels instead of having them say what they really think
It helps in categorizing people. Especially in a two party state
Europ isn't that way
See: leftism descending into commie fuckery
But
Larger countries like India or America are
But neither system is based around two ideologies is the thing
Left/right isn't an ideology.
It's a label for ideological positions
An umbrella term if you will
Real Gamers know this
But it doesn't work
It's a system of values compiled through a spectrum
Right but nobody can name a consistent set of values
Oof has worked its way into my daily vocabulary.
Or plot ideologies consistently as per those sets
It's embarassing, in a way.
So a right wing party is pro traditionalism, constitutionalism, etc
A left wing party would be pro secularism, social programs, etc
