Description
Market Exit, like many others before him, tells us that the left-right political spectrum is obsolete and does more harm than good. That’s because he doesn’t know what they mean.
This video explains:
1. What the political left and right actually mean
2. Why elites don’t want us to know what they mean
3. How confusion about left and right is a major cause of growing inequality
4. How understanding what they mean is a crucial to the survival of democratic civilization
5. How to vote in your own economic interest!
And I finally explain why communism is on the left and fascism is on the right, even though both systems produced similar authoritarian, nationalist political systems.
