    The useful framing is that the competing systems aren’t left versus right but corporate power versus everything else — Hedges treats both major parties as operating inside the same corporate structure, which is why the usual spectrum argument stalls. I came across a similar reading at https://olympcasinoargentina.com and it applied here.
