        I genuinely thought you were taking the piss on what the right claims anything other than private healthcare is.

          I don’t even know how to process this meme from the right perspective, cause going bankrupt to get stitches isn’t exactly a win. What I’ve noticed with right wingers is that in a sense they’re often more politically conscious than the mainstream libs. They’re able to understand that the system isn’t working in the interest of the working class people while libs can’t even acknowledge this. The problem is that the right lacks class analysis and ends up falling for reactionary ideas as a result.

          Unfortunately, when people start falling out of the mainstream it’s much easier for them to move to the right than the left because the ideas the right peddles piggy back on the established capitalist mythology. Meanwhile, moving left requires rejecting all the propaganda people have been fed since the day they’re born.
