but they are excellent at selling the opposite. Its amazing the average citizen cant look past a campaign catch phrase to the underlying values of the ideology, or demonstrated policy decisions
Right-wing parties are even selling themselves as revolutionary and "against the system". But nothing could be further from the truth.
Revolutionary would be to stop using oil, gas and coal (and nuclear) for energy generation. It would be revolutionary to invest into public transport instead of building car dependent cities. Similarly demanding public code and open science for public money would increase transparency and outcome for the tax payers a lot. Destroying market monopolies and making sure we have a fair competition on the markets would be revolutionary. Stop making money by doing business with dictatorships is totally against the system of "money doesn't stink". And it would be absolutely against the "system of the rich" to demand high wealth and inheritance taxes (or at least a financial transaction tax) to make sure everyone has a fair chance in his life. In the end if you demand equality for women and men, that would be a social revolution humanity hasn't heard of since Adam and Eve.
None of these are goals of right-wing parties. The left-wing, woke, green, liberal parties are the really revolutionaries in our world. What they demand has never be tried before. That is risky and right-wing voters are in fact afraid of these disruptive changes.
