And to bring this back to airlines... The more totalitarianism the more destructive it is to our industry.

As to me being a Leftist by correctly assigning the label of Right-wing to Jungle would be incorrect. Even moderates from the 1960's GOP referred to conservatives as "Right-wing". Example.
A Republican describing Conservatives
"A fanatical neo-facsist political cult of
right-wingers in the GOP, driven by a strange mixture of corrosive hatred and sickening fear that is recklessly determined to control our party or destroy it!" - Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel 1966.
I suppose now a Republican Senator will be Leftist too.
