One thing the left has done a better job of than the right is internalize the idea of the "commons". Right-wingers seem to have completely internalized the idea that anything worth a damn is something that you need to privatize and charge money for and make money doing. So they're a lot more suspicious of anything that people just give away and cede that ground to the left. Major mistake.

I wish the "right wing dev squad" threads on /pol/ had more traction than they did, because there was a lot of untapped potential there.
