OK, I see. I do recall hearing Tommy's cousin say he was right wing aligned - and maybe some others. I think patriotism, when it means support for monarchy and top-down control hierarchies is essentially the same thing as right wing, given the origins of the phrase 'right wing' during the French revolution (it means the right wing of seats in the French parliament - populated by monarchists). I do know, though, that few people seem to understand the origins of the terms they use and so the meanings have become diluted or even reversed.

Without understanding the principles involved when it comes to power, we just keep going round in the same circles that have existed for all of recorded history!
