If one were to look for where the left-right divide originated, one would have to go back to the time of the French Revolution: in 1789, at the First Assembly of the Nobility, those who supported the monarchy sat on the right and those who advocated necessary reforms sat on the left. Thus, already at this time, history has proven that opinions were at opposite poles. And this system of world order continues to this day. As Jaromir Nohavitsa sings in his song, one half of society cries shame, the other half cries glory. It works the same way when left-wing politics are appreciated by right-wing voters. And the same is true when criticism of the left is taken up as an agenda by the right.

The main characteristic of left-wing politics as we have experienced it until 1989 was its paramount emphasis on social equality. It was to guarantee equal living conditions to all citizens, even those who were discriminated against and socially vulnerable. However, the egalitarianism that had been its creed was already in tatters after 1948. A select group emerged onto the political stage. They belonged to the leading left-wing parties and began to set the rules of the game. It was completely divorced from any democratic ideas and the majority of the population refused to accept it. There was a clash that offended the human dignity of all those who wished to live in a cultural and free society. That is why the disconnection was necessary. And the right-wing leaders were at the forefront of this.

For many citizens of the Republic, 1989 opened up a very different world. Business and the opportunity to travel around the world brought opportunities that no one could have dreamed of. The right-wing policies that replaced the dysfunctional left removed social equality from its agenda. It was then left to each individual to decide how to approach the new arrangements. And it soon became clear how divided society was beginning to become. People deciding what they wanted to look like and starting their own businesses. And those who wait to see what the state will do for them. Today, society is once again divided into two halves. The ideal solution would perhaps be the Golden Rule.
