This is not to say that I think they are equally bad or that there should be a “united front” or some non-sense like that!
It just seems like the traditional left / right distinction, even when extended by the authoritarian / libertarian axis doesn’t seem to reflect political opinions a very well anymore (and maybe never did).
As a shower-thought I recently considered “rooted” Vs. “mobile” as less ideologically loaded and more descriptive terms of the actually different mind-sets people seem to have. This seems to fit to many aspects of the ideological divide found in today’s world.
Any other suggestions?
P.S.: of course just inventing new terms & definitions doesn’t change anything (and NewSpeak is certainly a danger), but keep using outdated and overloaded terms is also not the solution.
I may look a bit funny when saying this, even though it is understood what you mean, but economic system preference and class interests should be 2 separate bullet points. That just makes your bullet list look more ideal.
Class interests you support, not those you objectively have. :D
