Anyone familiar with the Left will instantly understand why the change in polarity he struggles to describe took place: democratic centralism. The Left in opposition is all “for democracy” but the Left in power is all about “centralism”.

Sadly the the Right in power is all for respect for duly constituted authority, but the Right in opposition is also all for respect for duly constituted authority.

We now have wolves in shepherd’s clothing.
And our sheepdogs have agreed to be punked by the wolves “before dinner” in exchange for some scraps at the feast.
