We talk a lot about left and right wing and what it means here. If you’re destroying elite power structures you are to the left of the king. There is zero ambiguity there.

Right. It’s just yet another example of progressive ideas being popular with everybody, so long as it’s pitched in a vacuum without any labels attached. Everybody wants better healthcare. Everybody wants cheaper groceries. Everybody wants privacy in their bedrooms. Everybody wants money out of politics.
