The big difference between left and right is that leftish politics are based on everyone being equal, and rightish politics accept that some are more equal than others.

It’s not such a terrible tension to live with. We can have, say, equal rights to life while also allowing unequal rights to gold nuggets. You might have more gold nuggets than I do but we both have the right to live in peace.

The far ends of the spectrum though involve, respectively, redistribution of gold nuggets to all, and at the other end a commitment to survival of the fittest that extends to viewing any kind of market regulation as commie bullshit.

The quip about some being more equal than others is literally from a book written specifically to criticize a leftist state.
