That is great. Hope it happens.

Outside of the US, "right wing" doesn't mean Conservative Republicans. It's a rival form of socialism. The Nazis were "right wing".

Right and left wing mean nothing. Nazi stands for “National Socialism” and has been painted as “right wing” to demonize conservatives. I ditched using the “right/left” designation years ago as it means nothing. Conservative and liberal don’t mean anything either.

How about “people standing for justice, truth and decency” and “evil people turning the world into hell”?

You are technically correct on that. I used to use the terms individualist vs collectivist which makes far more sense to me.

Some idiot intellectual argued that fascists where individualist... I could only laugh.
As in selfish for their own good you mean?
My point there is no great term for who we are. I actually like the term liberal in it's real meaning. Though that was hijacked.
