Frankly, shouldn't we abandon the whole "left-right" dichotomy? It seems false, just another obfuscation of the bourgeoisie politics. You either support the elimination of capitalism as a system (and thus class exploitation) ooor you don't. That's it. Socdems, republicans - does it matter if they all wish to retain the system as is?
Yeah you're right it's ultimately pointless when you take revolutionary politics into consideration. For example, are the anarchist on our left because they are more extreme or are they on our right because idealism is closer to bourgeois politics? That's a pointless question.
I just wanted to express the fact that some political factions are just so stupid and far from us that it doesn't make sense to spend energy criticising them. Criticism is only useful on people who share a certain ideological proximity.
I was always saying that the only noticeable line between left and right lies right on the line between socialism and capitalism. It's not that the left and right dichotomy is useless by itself, but it is useless in the context of mainstream because capitalist propaganda managed to convince most people that rightwingers like succdems and liberals are "on the left".
And more important, where to put the so called "anticapitalists" who are not only fruitless utopians but also toe the state department line and wreck all the time?
