Specifically, that the last time a significant proportion of the population began to get wise to the egregious behaviour of the owner class, and had begun to take steps towards correcting the suicidal course of their culture, this consciousness was divided and funneled into the quarreling twin errors of Bolshevism and Fascism.

Particularly during the 30s, after the Wall Street Crash and ensuing Great Depression, but also earlier, people on both sides of the political spectrum were beginning to formulate a clearer understanding of how badly rigged the economic game was, and momentum for meaningful change began to build. I speak of movements such as Distributism, Social Credit, Georgism, Social Threefolding, Guild Socialism, Syndicalism, Mutualism, etc. All of which precious few people have ever heard of… one must ask why.

In reality, there is no such thing as “the Left” or “the Right”. There are simply human beings, and their relationships. I would propose that thinking in these obsolete categories will get one precisely nowhere. The time has come for a real understanding of what it means to be human, and in relation to other human beings and the living world which we inhabit. I’d say that we need to hold a funeral for the political spectrum… may it rest in pieces. Mercureality beckons.
