COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS IN

“The Leftwing Has
Placed Itself In The Trash Can Of History”
What truly does belong in the trashcan of history is the
almost meaningless division of Left versus Right.
Sound policies and ideas are simply not the prerogative of
this or that political party.
Political parties or groupings partly thrive out of the herd
instinct and the inability, or unwillingness, of many individuals to think for
themselves.
True individualism, thinking for yourself, is certainly not
the exclusive property of people identifying as Right.
In fact, that is an absurd idea on its face.
To wish away a whole body of people you've labelled as Left
(or as anything else) smacks very much of religious extremism, the kind of
Bible-thumping we see from ignorant folks like Franklin Graham of Pat Robertson
or Oral Roberts.
