In my previous article, I referenced the "Left-Right Politics" Spectrum being actually based on the terms of the populist egalitarian French Revolution, and how that spectrum considers the Left the "Party of movement", and the Right as the "Party of Order". What is at issue here is the very fundamental difference between the French and American Revolutions.
While this may seem silly at first, in this country particularly,those descriptions should be reversed, with the Right being the "party of movement", and the Left being the party of order.
The original Left-Right Spectrum, as characterized by the French Revolution, inherently defines "movement" as "social engineering" - the deliberate dictate of society by the subjective terms and value system of a select group in power, when it is far more appropriate to define movement as "freedom", particularly freedom from just such government dictate, with individuals having the freedom to move in society by their own choice and initiative, rather than movement being defined by some authority moving society by its singular illegitimate will.
The Left believes in it's own "movement" by the dictated terms of what constitutes "fairness", redistributing wealth, and ultimately working towards equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity as is this country's founding principle, with the Left's perspective essentially being a Marxist/Communist revolution done by illegitimate government authority. By this narrow and prejudicial definition, using the ideas of "change" by government fiat, the Left has claimed that "movement" as going "forward". However, in reality, the forced structuring of society by the hands and terms of a select few, is what the Monarchists and Feudal nobles were doing, and is going backwards: the Left and Progressives have only changed who is dictating the terms.
Under our own system of government each citizen is deemed to have the the authority passed directly from god, and we pass this (limited) authority to government. This is much more akin to Biblical law, where mandate was passed to the individual and then spread to the organization and society itself. Monarchical Government: God ➠ Monarchy(King) ➠ Government("elites") ➠ Man
(Feudalism)
Progressive Statism : Elites ➠ Government ➠ Man
(Neo-Feudalism)
Elites replace God & King, claiming both moral and legal authority
---- IN OPPOSITION TO ---
Biblical Law: God ➠ Man ➠ Men➠ Government(social law)
Natural Law Republic (USA): God ➠ Man ➠ Government
By this, Progressivism, and other Statist dictates, can be recognized as nothing but a recreation of Feudal Medieval dictate, with the populace serving in obligation to the government.
What today's "Progressive" Socialism and Statism do is replace God and King with a few "elites", who deem themselves to have both the superior moral judgement and authority, and then pass the authority through government by dictate down upon man, recreating a neo-feudalistic society with it's own form of "oblige", expressed as tyrannous mandates, regulations and laws, but no inherent legitimacy nor ethic, and no real regard for justice, or those lowly serfs themselves. The only people empowered and bettered are those "elites", now controlling every aspect of our lives.
Under the terms of the Constitution, with a deliberately limited government, operating solely within limited enumerated powers, individuals then get to determine their own lives, and their own outcomes. In this free marketplace of ideas, people themselves, both individually and cumulatively, get to determine the "fair" compensation for their efforts, by choosing what they value -- with the government being in no way involved. This is how America and its Capitalism base became the most mobile society in mankind's history, with people such as economist Milton Friedman can state, indicating without question, that the "ONLY cases in which the masses have escaped from grinding poverty are where there is Capitalism and largely free trade", whereas this Left with its "movement" can only provide us the shared misery of poverty.
Even Justice Antonin Scalia touches on this consideration of the Left's constant compulsion to dictate the terms of society when discussing Constitutional interpretation and a "living Constitution":
"RIGIDITY is not the flaw of the Originalists, but it is the effect of those advocating the falsehood of a "Living Constitution"
"They want the whole country to do it their way from coast to coast. They want to drive one issue after another off the stage of political debate … Every time you insert into the Constitution - by speculation - new rights that aren't really there you are impoverishing democracy. You are pushing one issue after another off the democratic stage."
We see these "new rights" that aren't really there time and time again, with "abortion" being one, and the "right to health care" another, and not only just the right to "marriage", but also the obligation to recognize different things, under different terms, achieving the same outcome and recognition - with all these taking rights from the states and/or People themselves, and the federal government, more specifically elitist dictators in the Judiciary, assuming a right-to-dictate, eating away our guaranteed, "unalienable" freedoms.
In the U.S. vs Windsor consideration of gay marriage (DOMA), Scalia issued a scathing response to Kennedy's majority opinion, characterizing it as a lecture on how superior the majority's moral judgment is, even representing the opposition as "enemies of the human race". Scalia's powerful dissent addresses the obscenity "black-robed supremacy", not only assuming it has the authority to lecture the country, but dictating "what the law is", when that Court did not have any jurisdiction to even hear the case itself. And Americans stood by and did nothing, with some many foolish people actually cheering.
We even saw this ideology regarding health care, with the effect annulling 80% of the Bill of Rights, stealing those freedoms from us, and making being a Citizen involve an obligation (to health care insurance) while having done, literally, nothing! Somehow the federal "authority to tax", became an overriding principle of the Constitution, allowing the federal government to compel each citizen into an obligatory contract, not of their own choosing, in violation of every legal principle, and the 1st Amendment's Freedom of Association.
All of this, and more, involves inserting concepts into the Constitution that are nowhere there, and assuming a federal authority (and judicial authority) that is nowhere provided.
In Truth, the "Right" and Conservatism is actually the party of movement and flexibility, whereas the Left is the party of inflexible dictate, and illegitimate tyrannous government. However Left's totalitarian dictate is much easier to accomplish when all they have to do is convince the people they're giving them what they want, while they actually steal what the people need, and are guaranteed. The Left even imagines it has the authority to tell us when it is our time to die. The clear association of progressive ideology with odious totalitarian ideologies as Communism, Marxism, Fascism and even Nazism, is undeniable.
