Actually that's because as soon as shit hits the fan, left wing (which means nothing) will start to claim that is right wing (which means also nothing).
Left wing doesn't see Kim Jong-un as left, nor Maduro.
The great advantage of a good for nothing split system is that supporters, specially the extremists, from one side and another won't gather around while enjoying beating each other's.
Likewise we get the ultimate chair rotation at the system, Democrats, who had policies that would be considered hard or far right are now "lefties", Republicans went the other way around, and probably 100 years from now people will see them again in the opposite ends... Enjoy the divide to conquer system!
