The adage is that the left can never agree. And it is true. Finding solutions to inequality, division and hate is extremely challenging given many humans’ propensity to gullibility and ignorance. However, what the corporate media tends to ignore are the omnipresent divisions across right-wing politics too. Here the propensity is on how to maintain inequality, division and hate.
The political right has always been engaged in a delicate dance, one where the central goal is the maintenance of a certain kind of top-down order. This isn’t merely about low taxes or strong borders; it’s a deeper, more fundamental project of preserving hierarchy. Throughout history, from the crowned heads of Europe to the boardrooms of modern globalists, the right has crafted a simple, powerful story: that some are meant to lead and others to follow, and that this natural order is the bedrock of civilisation. This false narrative wears different masks—divine right, meritocracy, the sanctity of property—but its function remains the same: to justify inequality, making it seem inevitable, even righteous, while painting any challenge to it as a dangerous step into chaos.
Yet within this grand project, a constant, simmering tension exists. It’s a family feud over the best way to keep the house in order. The alliance between the moneyed elites and the social traditionalists, for instance, has always been one of convenience rather than true affection. The capitalist, focused on a borderless market, finds a natural ally in the social conservative who preaches order and authority, but their visions of control can pull in opposite directions. One seeks freedom from the state to accumulate wealth; the other often seeks to use the state to enforce a moral code. Their pact holds because both see a powerful, redistributive state as the ultimate enemy, but the marriage is often strained, a temporary truce in a longer war for the soul of the right itself.
This internal conflict is not seen by them as a sign of weakness but as a tactical evolution. Today’s great schism between the globalist neoliberal and the nationalist populist is the latest act in this old play. The neoliberal believes control is best managed through the invisible hand of the market, creating a world where capital is free and labour is cheap, a system that inherently concentrates power. The populist, in contrast, wields the blunt weapon of identity, forging a cross-class coalition bound by culture war and national resentment. They may spar bitterly over tactics—open markets versus closed borders—but they are united in their opposition to any movement that seeks to fundamentally flatten the pyramid. Their war is not about whether there should be a top and a bottom, but simply about who gets to stand at the apex and which tools they will use to stay there.
To provide a few examples is to severely challenge many people’s intellect. The examples are routine from one day to another. They are often a con trick, as with Reform UK. Nigel Farage and co. want the population to obsess over culture wars and immigration while they set the trap that many will fall into. Once in power, the great sell-off will begin, and those complaining about public services now will find inferior public services in the future that they have to pay for. Just look at the USA. The only quality on offer is for the ultra wealthy. The rest are left with the mediocre. That is how capitalism and inequality work.
This is nowhere more apparent than on the fringes, where right-wing politics becomes extreme. Where the delusional ply their trade and stay relevant to other misinformed delusionals.
Take Jayda Fransen, Paul Golding and Tommy Ten Names Robinson. They perpetuate a myth based on religion and upholding sacred values that they have never upheld themselves. They con those seeking to be conned.
Allow me to catch you up.

There is an utter tragedy among people like this that they do not recognise. They genuinely believe what they say, or they are damned good actors who are being paid very well for their con trick. The latter makes those who believe them the tragic ones.
The right-wing are constantly at war with themselves, and the ones who are their true victims are us. When they have power and influence, it is never to our benefit and always to our detriment. Just look at the rise and rise of debt. The most potent method of control ever devised. Some may persuade themselves otherwise, but they are fooling themselves in front of a very large audience. Their victories are pyrrhic. Their gains are their losses. Their lives are but a lie.
