This becomes interesting in post-communist countries. Trying to keep the communist status quo... is that right or left? From your perspective right (and I believe you make a good point), but they will identify as left, and their opponents will identify as right.
- alexvoda 5y agoIndeed, in postcommunist nations you are more likely to see a division between left-leaning traditionalist conservatives and right-leaning progressives. This was much more obvious decades ago. As time went on, left and right sort of lost meaning. Right now in Poland, Hungary and Romania, there is a resurgence of right-leaning to right-extremist conservatives. I wonder if this is because right-leaning is a more natural fit for conservativism?
