Politically, the Left represents collectivism and tyranny; the Right represents its opposite: individualism and freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this polar distinction has been intentionally hidden. <strong>By falsely and incorrectly associating the Leftist ideology of fascism and its variants with the Right, the Left has successfully handicapped those on the Right from being able to effectively distance themselves from the Left.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, many have dismissed the Left-Right political labels entirely, correctly viewing them as a useless means of distinction.  But even so, these <strong>labels still carry great power as the chief means of ideological identity within the political arena.<\/strong> It is ironic that the very people immobilized by the mere suggestion of being labeled right wing are among those declaring political labels to be useless.  <\/p>\n<p>It is clear that <strong>America\u2019s Left is in a panic.
