Tucker Carlson flagging wealth inequality as the main issue in the USA was not on my bingo card

On a long enough timeline left wing and right wing populism are very similar, except for the end result of who benefits

Eh except one side is global workers rights and one side is workers rights for certain ethnic/racial/religious groups and everyone else ground into sand

And can get into the hypothetical " horrors of communist countries past" 

But let's be realistic, which right wing back militarized dictatorship that the united states backed up was better than communism?

They failed in Indonesia 

They failed in Latin America 

They failed in south korea

They failed in cambodia

They can't even bully two island nations into "freedom" after 60 plus years

And left wing populism has attacked intelligentsia and property owners

Populism at the edges are all about destroying things because you're unhappy

But historically right wing populism has always led to militarized campaigns against minority groups

I think that's an uncharitable framing

One side is "tolerate wealth redistribution to preserve the system", the other is "tolerate the system to preserve wealth redistribution"

At the batshit ends, it's "no redistribution" and "no system"
