To expand, left wingers analyze current events as a historical process and as an actionable future plan, considering current ownership itself unjust regardless of historical context, though certainly not made any better when combined with it. I don't really see many making a mockery of their own position.
Right wingers do falsely claim that anyone can arrive at the top, they typically do so through some failed idea of meritocracy.
Good additions. I actually struggled to find a good way to criticize the left because I am extremely left-leaning myself. I caught myseld writing a "cons bad" post and decided to attack the weaknesses I see in left-wing politics as a bit of a self-challenge, tho admittedly with only about two minutes of consideration. Judging by the points on the post my perspective is not very popular.
Tbh I should give this more thought, finding flaws in your own positions is a harder exercise than I realized. I'll have to explore and flesh out these ideas a bit more.
