@RadishMag Sartwell is sorta kinda noticing that as society shifts left, more left-wing positions get called "right," e.g. libertarianism -
@RadishMag i.e. it is possible to be relatively right-wing at a point in time (e.g. conservative) or absolutely right-wing (e.g. monarchist) -
@RadishMag in 1776, the tea party was left-wing; today, it is right. in the 19th c., libertarianism was left-wing; in the 21st, it is right. -
@RadishMag gosh if only someone had made a diagram of this… http://radishmag.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/democracy-and-the-intellectuals/#political-spectrum …
