Jan,
please explain the purpose of:
"Power and Control"
I can only assume this means things such as:
the economy, the means of production, labor, the military, police, laws, all domestic and foreign policy... and so forth
By whom and to what end? qui bono?
I think this goes to the nature of control (and power)... in that tit seems to suggest that it is wielded somehow to control *the many*. In a top down model it is the FEW who control and have power over the many... to use this power and control presumably as they wany for whatever purpose... personal enrichment for example... or perhaps general well being for all as another.
In distrubuted power and control.. the many have the power and control over the many... admittedly a complicated and inefficient model.
My conception of left right is more akin to top down control vs democratic control... not even bottom up (representative authority franchise). Try as I might I see Gladio of a program BY and FOR the right to advance their agenda.
To claim that the left right frame is nonsense or a false dichotomy is to deny reality... and the "struggle" that has existed as long as there was the struggle for survival.
