    Yep. It says that the mainstream left n right in the US is pro-ruling class, with only minor differences and they get entangled around only entry-level topics without going after the materials reasons for issues n solving them.

    I think they mean the democrats, with the term to mean the US mainstream ‘left’. The video criticises both the Left and Right under that definition.

      Oh I see. I think I guessed wrong then. So they mean the mainstream left and right are both liberals, they are of the ideology of capitalism and therefore very similar, primarily defining themselves through shibboleths that are not really about commitments to policy or political action.
