"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.

Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    Left and right are completely arbitrary semantic categories so you can define them however you like, as long as it has a clear and internally consistent definition.

    I’ve even seen ancaps who have almost the same definition as I do but completely reversed which is pretty funny but also gives me a headache.

      left = not capitalism

      right = capitalism

      this definition has formed since more or less (…) since the french revolution and has consolidated along with capitalism itself.
