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"

Or you're creating a false dichotomy

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

Those are non exclusionary

You can be secular, support the constitution, support social programs and value tradition

You can adopt a wide variety of ideologies under one banner without being cornered

And then, the people in the party can say "I'm a constitutionalist", or " I'm a socialist"

Further, what was no child left behind, as poor a plam as it was? And alt right memestate enthusiasts will often advocate a heavy welfare state

That's the thing. The lines are unclear

Aren't alt right people national socialists?

Not all, but altleast the ethnostatists

Some of them might be yes, and a heavy social welfare state is lefty
