I think that it's important to both separate out the left/right axis from the vetocracy axis. But also to realize that even if one professes leftism on the National scale when it may not affect one's significant privileges, that at the local level that "leftism" may dissipate when it results in very real dissipation of one's significant privileges that happen only locally.
