Beyond Left vs. Right: Uniting Against the Elite

In today's political landscape, the divide between left and right ideologies is stark, but there is a growing sentiment that the real battle is between the everyday people and the elite. This blog explores why it's crucial for us to unite against the elite and why it's ultimately us versus them.

The Illusion of Left vs. Right

In the current political climate, it often seems like the battle is fought between the left and the right. The media portrays these two ideologies as being vastly different, creating an illusion of a deep divide. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the differences between left and right are not as significant as they are made out to be. Both sides strive for a better future and have the best interests of the people at heart. It is important to recognize that the real battle lies elsewhere.

The illusion of left vs. right serves as a distraction from the true power dynamics at play. While the everyday people are busy arguing over political labels and "wedge issues", the elite continue to consolidate their power and influence. It is time to break free from this illusion and focus on the real battle: the fight against the elite.

Divide and Conquer: The Elite's Strategy

You've heard it many times but it is an age old strategy that just so happens to work. The elite have long understood the power of divide and conquer. By keeping the people divided along ideological lines, they ensure that the focus remains on arguments that do not have a universal solution rather than addressing the systemic issues that we do agree need resolved. This strategy allows the elite to maintain their control and avoid any meaningful challenge to their authority.

Instead of getting stuck in debates over our differences, let's focus on moving forward together on issues we can agree on. It's crucial to hold our officials accountable to serve the people who elected them, rather than catering to powerful business interests.We must bridge the divide between left and right, finding common ground and working together towards a common goal. Only by uniting can we effectively challenge the power of the elite and bring about real change. It comes as no surprise that the deeper the divisions among us, the more opportunities rogue individuals in positions of power seize to fuel corruption.

Finding Common Ground

While it may seem difficult to find common ground in a polarized political landscape, there are certain issues that affect us all. 

These are just a few examples of the systemic issues that plague our society and keep us divided. Illegal wars not only result in the loss of innocent lives but also drain valuable resources that could be better utilized for the well-being of our country. Meddling in other countries' policies perpetuates a cycle of violence and instability, ultimately leading to more suffering around the world but these policies do benefit corporations who profit tremendously. Allowing, even incentivizing  businesses to outsource jobs not only hurts local economies but also exploits workers in countries with fewer labor protections. During the past few decades we have witnessed the greatest transfer of wealth through lobbying and persuading lawmakers to enact policies that destroy the middle class and only serve to make these business interests even more powerful.

The constant attack on our civil liberties in response to manufactured crises and false narratives in the corporate media further strengthens their positions of power. It is essential to recognize these interconnected issues and come together to address them collectively and put aside the issues used as leverage every four years to keep us divided. Only by standing in solidarity against these injustices can we hope to create a more just and equitable, otherwise we will see more growing top and bottom of the socioeconomic statuses while the middle class disappears.

Building Solidarity

Building solidarity is essential in the fight against the elite. Solidarity means recognizing that we do have shared interests and direct our engird upward rather than left to right. Recognizing the destruction of our democratic republic is by design so that the powers that be maintain all their power and expand it anywhere they can. It means standing up for one another, offering support, and emphasizing that those in positions of power are meant to serve the people, not dictate over them.

Solidarity is not limited to a specific political ideology. It is a collective effort to challenge the power dynamics that perpetuate inequality and injustice. By building solidarity, we can create a powerful force that the elite cannot overcome.

Conclusion

The battle between left and right is an illusion that serves to distract us from the real fight against the elite. By uniting against the levers of control and focusing on common goals, we can create a more just and equitable society. It is up to us to break free from the confines of political labels and work together towards a better future for all.

Remember, it is us, the everyday people, who hold authority accountable. They will never willingly allow you to rein in their powers. We have the power to bring about meaningful change and challenge the status quo, but as we stay stuck in the traditional "wedge issues". we will see more of the same, except growing exponentially. Let us stand united and fight for a future that prioritizes the well-being and prosperity of the everyday people.
