The sad fact is that, <strong>just as &#8216;Republicans in name only&#8217; (RINOs) are not Republicans, so too many on the right &#8216;wing&#8217; are &#8216;Right in name only.&#8217;<\/strong>   Or in other words, their ideologies are Left.<\/p>\n<p>How did this misconception of Left and Right arise?<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Republicans and Democrats sit in &#8216;opposition&#8217; to each other leads most to believe that the split between them is ideological &#8211; Left versus Right.  But the real &#8216;split&#8217; is about power, not about ideology.<\/strong>  (This principle also applies to parliamentary governments, where there is an &#8216;official opposition&#8217; yet with little or no ideological difference to the ruling party.)    <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Complicating matters for the Right are all the right &#8216;wing&#8217; manifestations associated with the Right.  Conservative, libertarian, anarchist, far right, extreme right, center right, alt-right, Nazi, and of course, &#8216;fascism&#8217; which is entirely an ideology of the Left.  <\/p>\n<p>This makes understanding the distinction between Left and Right all the more critical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fact that there are no governing parties on the Right does not mean that the ideologies of Left and Right have become the same.<\/strong>  The political polarity associated with tyranny is called the Left.  The political polarity associated with freedom is called the Right, not to be confused with the right &#8216;wing&#8217; that is flying in every political direction. <\/p>\n<p>As Isabel Paterson always warned, when we speak of government, <strong>&#8220;Force is what is governed.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Left and Right are competing polarities with regard to the legal use of physical force.  <strong>The Left requires the use of initiatory force for whatever it wants to do<\/strong> &#8211; from providing &#8216;social benefits&#8217; to locking up political prisoners.  <strong>The Right<\/strong> &#8211; the ideologically true Right &#8211; <strong>restricts itself to the use of defensive and retaliatory force<\/strong> in the protection of life, liberty and property.<\/p>\n<p>Until enough people come to recognize the fundamental nature of political polarities in a way that&#8217;s Just Right, no number of right &#8216;wing&#8217; parties will be able to prevent or stop Western society&#8217;s tragic drift into the tyranny of the Left.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/864-topics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/864-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you found this presentation valuable please consider supporting us:<br \/>\n&#x1f9e1; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/justrightmedia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The belief that Left and Right have become useless labels has been utterly destructive to those on the Right.
