Kevin Duffy on the difference between the Left and Right

The right wants to return to a romantic past; the left wants to leap into a utopian future.  Neither is possible. 

The right sees trade with foreigners as exploitation; the left sees trade between employers and employees as exploitation.  Neither is correct.  All trade is win-win.

The left explicitly favors the state; the right implicitly favors the state.  Both lose sight of actual exploitation: that of the state towards its citizens.
