Would you say the left more collective and right individualistic?
I have been thinking about differences in the way left-wing thinks versus right-wing.
Would you agree that the left suppresses individual liberties to conform with the good of the community as they see it. That they seek a consensus of thought and judge those who think differently as less? How else could this be phrased?
Would you agree that the right is about suppressing collective values to serve individual needs. They lack empathy for the plight of collective as a whole. They judge the good of the whole as less than that of the individual? How else could this be phrased?
I am attempting to better understand the communication gap between the right and the left. From most of the threads I see on politics there is so very little actually exchanged, where each party is merely shouting at the other. I am being to think it is not as much ideology as a way of thinking of one's place in society.
