Most people are so binary in their thinking,
and the tenets of “the #left” and those of “the #right” have shifted so much (sometimes even exchanging places) in the last couple of decades,
that I want to write a post titled “Am I on the Right?”
(kind of [like #BrendanOneill did](https://medium.com/@burntoakboy/which-of-these-is-a-right-wing-position-4118046d7765))
listing all the views I have that would be automatically considered left-wing by many people today.
And then perhaps “Am I on the Left?”, too.
@tripu I'd go so far in agreeing that i would say only the origins of the words make sense anymore. So if left or right are used, i ask myself: "Is this person a monarchist or opposed?".
I think monarchism is just one of many threads, I wouldn't boil things down to that.
But you're right about the labels being almost useless. I listened to a couple interviews with the authors of this book, and I am quite convinced of their thesis now (although it's very US-centric; it might be different in other countries):
