"The single mindset of the transnational financial oligarchies that dominate the planet is neither right-wing nor left-wing, nor even centrist. If we want to provisionally maintain this obsolete and misleading spatial metaphor, it is right-wing in economics (the power of money), centrist in politics (the power of consensus) and left-wing in culture (the power of social innovation). The (left-wing) dismantling of the old conservative forms of traditional bourgeois and proletarian lifestyles, carried out in the name of nihilistically permanent modernisation, serves to expand the global market and the associated power of money that this entails (right-wing). This is the essential point to understand."
