"Both sides cripple economies through taxation, regulation, and punishment of economic activity. Both sides forbid certain speech, certain behavior, certain views, and certain interactions. Both sides believe in the use of force against different groups of people and in punishing different groups based on immutable characteristics in the name of ‘equality’ and ‘fairness.’ Both sides are unprincipled and will change their positions based on whichever way the political wind is blowing. To put it bluntly, both sides are just different flavors of the same foul stew.
The only real difference between leftwing and rightwing ideologies is their targets and policies. Their lack of principles and their rejection of human freedom are the same. Their belief that humans are just “blocks of wood that can be moved around” as Thomas Sowell would say, is the same. Neither side believes in human freedom and neither side knows anything about economics. Most importantly, neither side wants to understand these things. They are both power hungry entities and the supporters they ensnare are so convinced that if their side were in charge the results would be different that the very idea of an alternative to authoritarianism doesn’t even enter into the conversation."
