Absolutely. I regularly defend the idea that “left and right” -and just by naming politics this way- infers that both are valid directions, that one is an alternative for the other. This lie is perniciously embedded in language itself. Very early on, I was taught that the first step to solve a riddle was to question the initial statement : does it present things in a way that enforces/biases towards a certain outlook ? I think one fundamental action we as citizens can take to help bring down that mental barrier is stop calling politics with right and left. Call them bourgeois and revolutionary. Facist and cooperative. Alien and terrestrial. Anything else
