Jan could you elaborate on this statement... I am honestly confused as I see the positions and world views (common wisdom) of the right and left to be polar opposites.
While the views people who embrace these ways of seeing the world are opposite and very different, they may emply the same tactics and strategies to advance their agenda toward acheiving their goal. So we see the use of force as a means of struggle emplyed by both the right and the left... in that the two opposites are similiar.
However, the implication of your statement (to me) is that the difference between the left and the right is of no signifance and it's simply a different name... and ultimately a distraction and a way to divide people.
I am not opposed to seeing this differently, but a mere assertion is not a convincing argument.
