Right and Left Wing

If we look at the origins of the political terms “left(wing)” and “right(wing)” they come about from the locations of people seated at the National Assembly during the French Revolution. Natural political processes divide the people, that is the mass of people opposed to the tyranny of nobles and aristocrats of the monarchy or in this era of American politics, the plutocracy and infotainment media designed to manufacture consent by the masses. The masses continue to divide along lines of political party and divisions within the parties themselves. The divisions connoted by terms “left” and “right” are tribal affiliations supported by all those who seek identification or self-affirmation via these labels. These social processes happen autonomously. No conspiracy by the oligarchs atop the plutocracy is required.

Joe the Bohemian

My writing for public consumption began as Joe the Bohemian on myspace. My bohemian philosophy of exploration beyond the conventional categorical boxes imprisoning our minds remains the same. The journey of discovery takes us on scenic eye-opening detours, which I call Bohemian Tangents. I welcome all to join me to seek new vistas on topics. You don't have to agree with my tangents. Go off on your own.
