LEFT...RIGHT? GET IN STEP!

Of national pride, there are none so bereft

As those who inhabit the political left;

Driven disciples of global orders

In their neglect of protecting a nation's borders

Identified by their excess of hyperbole -

Certainly, in language alone they're free..

I seem to remember Hitler and Mussolini's admirers in the UK, the fascist loving Daily Heil were big on "National Pride".
Headline: "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", etc.

If national pride is what you get from right wing politics (where there only policy is; stop the boats, and f**k everyone but the elite)
Then give me left wing politics any day

Cheers MC
In my opinion the concept of left and right politics is a redundant one.
For example in the UK we have an Alice in Wonderland in which socialism is now for for the obscenely rich (eg corporations and shareholders), and capitalism is for the poor.
I'd be interested in what those "global orders" are MC; an example of Hyperbole?
