The Left's Collapse

[Magn]

It really comes down how you define Left and Right. I learned long ago that not everyone will agree on how it is defined. He who controls the language controls the argument and that is all we have been discussing here is the language. From what I have read here most of you have no real understanding of America's Left and Right, neither do some Americans.

Is the Left collapsing? I doubt it much like the Liberals, Progressives, Socialist here in the USA were calling 2008 the collapse of the Right 2 years ago.

You can't just talk about America's idea of what is Left (assuming Americans have an unified definition for it, I seriously doubt that), when you talk about the 'Left'.

You are talking to an international audience.

Be mindful of context.

Vocabulary becomes and issue mainly when people insist on arguing about generic things using lousely defined words (something of which I am guilty myself on occasion).

Perhaps that by limiting the scope of the discussions, a more intelligent debate might follow.
