"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Do you think the "Left-Right" discourse is anti materialist and the correct categories should be 'pro-capitalism' or 'pro-communism'? (lemmygrad.ml)

in my personal analysis, you have two visions of the world:

-the economic (freedoms and restrictions of economic agents)

-and the social (freedoms and restrictions of individuals)

you can have two positions around those visions: a liberal or a conservative position. ending in something like this:

social conservative: restricting individual freedoms (homophobic, transphobic, "pro-life", mysogynist, culture based on religious ideals or religious fundamentalism)

social liberal (the opposite)

economic liberal: freedom of economic agents (mostly the ruling class), free market, anti-unionism, pro-business, less/no taxes, small government, usually pro-current economic system (right now a capitalist apologist/anticommunist)

economic conservative (the opposite)

in my path, i've noticed that right-wing thought usually falls into the pair "social conservative/economic liberal" and the left-wing thought falls into its counterpart "social liberal/economic conservative".

the "pure conservative" currently would be something like the nazbols or the john birch society, and the "pure liberals" would be libertarians who wants legal weed, some cripto enthusiasts or maybe some kind of anarchists

so...left-right has some materialism in my opinion

in a nutshell: right-wing wants "repression for individuals, full freedom for business", left-wing usually wants the opposite
