As a former mainstream lefty.....but now actually left, a good dollop of volutaryism.

The terms left/right are (deliberately) very devisive.

@revenant its the state of all human actions being accepted if both adult parties consent and its causing no harm....away you go. Nothing new.and a shame this has to be put into an "ism"

@gol979 Left wing/right wing is a manipulative over-simplification. It's almost nonsense. There are multiple dimensions to political differences related to views on economics, politics, society, social change, philosophical positions, levels of government control of people? Or means of production? Totalitarianism? Levels of democracy? Environment?
And people read into left and right emotive simplistic stereotypes. Because this is what we are fed. So if we're 'left' we see someone who has a view on X that is right wing and ascribe to them all the negatives we have about right wing. And vice-versa.
