In hindsight, yes, things were clear, but not at the time.
We are dealing with two extremes here: freedom and authoritarianism. Whether the authoritarianism is socialism, communism, fascism, corporatism, dictatorships, or some other -ism, they are all cut from the same cloth: power-hungry people seizing the reins of a government by some method (elections, perverting the governing documents of the country, guns or whatever) and then attempting to control everyone else through force and deceit.
The fight isn't between the left and the right, but the free and the ones who want to control and enslave them by hook or by crook.
The sooner people realize the fight is between being free or not - and that includes attempting to use the government to live at the expense of someone else through getting something for "free" (free to them, someone is always paying), the better.
One hopes that Bitcoin will help to make it clear that what you earn belongs to you, not someone else merely because they want it.
+1000.
TPTB want to paint it left vs right to obscure the real issues and the real sides of what is going on. Free or not. Controlling others or being in control of yourself.
