The political left-right paradigm is an abstraction around the deeper tension between shame and fear. As long as someone wants you to be afraid of something, right-wing politics will exist. As long as someone wants you to feel ashamed of something, left-wing politics will exist.
Complete rejection of both fear and shame and anyone who wants you to feel them is the only way to escape the left-wing/right-wing dichotomy.
