Left And Right

in the end, right wing people have been more tolerant of my views than those on the left. i think one of the reasons for this is the following. the left in the 20th century had a very strong anti-modernist sentiment. take for example the main structure of modernism, "bourgeois democracy", i.e. the type of "democracy" thagt exists in western nations. a typical leftwing position was this: bourgeois democracy is another system of oppression and authority and has to be rejected. but with the 90s of the last century and going into the current century, there was suddenly a new breeze of leftists, who would say something like "well, western democracy is still better than fascism or radical theocracy, so maybe we should *strengthen* bourgeois democracy against these threats"*. the funny thing is, this is a typical conservative, reactionary, rightwing stance and i don't want to have anything to do with it. those who *identify* as rightwingers on the other hand usually understand very well that western democracy is a fake, a joke, a trap. but the problem is of course, that unlike the "oldschool leftists" they don't want to replace it with a free society but with a fascist dictatorship that indeed would be a million times worse.

*on a side note, i think that western democracy inevitably leads to fascism, so supporting the one in favor of the other is even more of a dangerous illusion. we should fight for anarchy instead.
