You accept the leftard trend as fact, but the economics of the left have been abandoned, while their social policies have been accepted.
Just stating Moldbug's view, but I do think he has a point here. Compare current policies everywhere with those of 100 to 150 years ago (which is the timescale he is viewing things on).
Social or economic policies?
Either. Consider government budget as a percentage of GDP today versus 100 years ago. No, left-wing economic policies haven't been abandoned.
Hmmm. Is that policy, or just size? Consider the money spent on beaurocracy by large corporations as opposed to small ones.
The increase in the size of government is the left-wing policy I'm referring to.
And it's theinevitable and politically neutral organic change I am talking about. One fact, two interpretations.
