Es ist immer die Ungeduld zu gewinnen,
die einen verlieren lässt - Louis XIV
Noch ein Wort zur Unterscheidung von „Rechts“ und „Links“. Sinnvoll könnte folgende Unterscheidung sein: die „Rechten“ stehen für individuelle Freiheit und die entsprechenden Institutionen einer spontanen Ordnung, Privatautonomie, Subsidiarität, Gleichheit unter dem Gesetz, Marktwirtschaft, Wettbewerb, evolutorisch bewährte Traditionen und Loyalitäten („Patriotismus“). Sie akzeptieren Ungleichheit und Differenzierung, individuelle menschliche Unterschiede sowohl physisch als auch geistig-mental und was die soziale und physische Umwelt betrifft.
Die Linken stehen für erzwungene absolute Gleichheit (Gender-Ideologie, „Antidiskriminierung“ im Privatrecht, Umverteilung). Sie stehen für eine Vergötterung des Staates oder sonstigen Kollektivs, für Kommandowirtschaft, Ablehnung des Privaten, also für Sozialismus, Nationalismus und die häufige Verbindung beider. Der sozialdemokratische Wohlfahrtstaat mit seiner Feindlichkeit gegen freie Institutionen und Privatheit steht eindeutig „links“. Aber auch „Nazis“ gehören in die gleiche „linke“ Kategorie wie internationalistische Sozialisten, deren Internationalismus ja meistens auch nur auf dem Papier steht, wie der Misserfolg der „Internationale“ zeigt.
Also der substanzielle Unterschied zwischen Rechts und Links: Freiheit oder Gleichheit, ähnlich in Abwandlung: Individualismus oder Kollektivismus.
