The Difference Between Critical Theory and the Right

Critical Theory aims for a utopian society by dismantling existing power structures, while the right focuses on securing a place for themselves and future generations by reinforcing hierarchies. Critical theorists seek cultural emancipation from the liberal order for a utopian vision, whereas the right aims to maintain their position and legacy without aiming for a societal overhaul. The fundamental distinction lies in the left seeking utopia and identifying current power structures as barriers, as opposed to the right seeking to maintain hierarchy and tradition for self-preservation.
