It may be, as the first commenter says, that labels, such as left and right, no longer match the circumstances, but I, for one, am not ready to let go of a lifelong perspective, because when we change the words, we do more than just alter the spelling, and it's not clear where that perspective is heading.

However, that being said, I have no objections to taking on as many additional labels as necessary, if it helps join the various factions of those who know they have been screwed by the current ruling elites. There is no question that more of the same is continuing this never-ending spiral of war, destruction, pain, and misery.

I'd go one step further. Why even talk about "the Left" as an entity here in the U.S.? There are historical precedents for eschewing those labels and forming something entirely different.
