What provokes political movements? They can only occur because a large number of individuals decide to cooperate with one another to obtain a political outcome they mutually value. Not everyone joins the same political movements, even if they share the same circumstances. And it’s not because some people have more information than others, or some have been “brainwashed.” Often it’s because of individual differences in political orientations and value priorities.
Right Wing Caricatures vs. Reality Regarding the Perception of the Left-Wing
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Sat, 10/15/2016 - 12:07amI'd like to start this post off by stating this: There is no effective left wing in the United States. Anything even resembling the left has been beaten to death time and time again throughout American history. The closest thing we had to a left wing government was from the mid 1930s to the 1960s and even then, back room deals were made to make sure that any left wing policy was as ineffective as possible.
