This post, from an Antifa-friendly blogsite, points out the interesting situation presently happening where many people increasingly regard the “left” as the establishment, with the “right” as the opposition. This is happening not merely in response to pandemic-related mandates, but within the political context spanning across the Western world generally as Thomas Piketty and associates pointed out and as class voting patterns in the USA increasingly indicate.
