Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions

There are plenty more examples of this.

Say, the political spectrum. We take fulll equality as radical left and full inequality as radical right. But actually, right is about the few having all the economic means and power, so, the opposite is many holding these means and power, and those from few not having them. So, basically, society turning billionaires into slaves, not equals, or imprisoning/exiling/otherwise oppressing them.

This is what happens through many revolutions - world can be way more left than “radical left”. But ultimately, after everything is settled, this does not make too much political sense (and neither does the current right-leaning system), so people settle for equality for everyone. As a neutral point, not something radical.
