The entire spectrum of right and left has become hopelessly confused in recent years and the categories within it have therefore become almost useless for any kind of meaningful discourse. I am of a traditional left that seeks to bring those at the bottom of society who are underprivileged up to a comparable position to those who begin life in a privileged position to one degree or another and tend to stay in that position for their entire lives. Those starting from the much lower baseline by majority tend to stay in a lower position regarding privilege and potential also for their entire lives. In this modern world in the West ushered in by Thatcher and Reagan and left in place and further bolstered by those who followed has virtually no answer to the problems of inequity the traditional left wished to address and resolve.
