Eric is definitely a kind of "left". I liked your system/commune split piece. But the fact that so many weaponize the amorphous definitions of "left" and "right" does not mean they don't have meaning. source: lots of long coffee/lunch convos when we worked together.

Perhaps a steel man of "left and right have no meaning" is that "you can't assume that someone will use 'left' and 'right' the way you will so much that it's often impractical"

Left and right plainly haven't lost all meaning. Which side is for enlarging the welfare state? Same side as in mid-century Which side wants fewer brown people to immigrate? Same side that defended segregation in mid-century

Left and Right have lost all meaning. We need knew words, something besides “Independent”, for people who consider politics to be a complex web of issues that don’t necessarily batch neatly into party lines.
