Farrakhan's an ethnat extremist. His politics can best be described as tribalist. His _alliances_ are solidly on the American 'left', but only because American politics are devolving into tribalism.

Using 'right' and 'left' to classify American political factions betrays a quaint faith that ideas, rather than gangs, are the relevant actors.

Disagree. 'right' and 'left' explicitly refer to gangs. Ideas are never 'right' or 'left' (pretty much any idea you can think of has been left in some time & place, and right in another).

'Right' and 'left' refer to gangs but most of the discourse pretends they're ideas.
