The contemporary "Left" has become more ideological than the "Right". It rests assured in dogmatic belief that is reinforced through popular culture. The Right, no longer easily defined by a neat ideology of its own owing to the absolute discrediting of traditional Rightist thinking and the hegemony of liberalism, has become a heterogenous bag of all who oppose the prevailing Leftist dogmatism/dogmatists.
This has the effect of producing a very unruly, disorganized and chaotic set of ideals, but if we step back and recognize that dogma and ideology is inherently dangerous and must be checked, for it cannot check itself and is liable to rampancy, we recognize that the diversity of thought currently on display among the Right will be necessary for future progress.
