Actually, as absurd as it sounds, if you step far away from the fight, both sides COULD be right!
I don't think that the people on the fringes (myself included) believe (within their own mind) that they are wrong.
In fantasyland, you can envision a happy and successful society, with almost ANY type of governance.
You can have a happy Keebler's Elf society, which may look communist or socialist, but the elves appear to be happy.
You can envision a kingdom, ruled by a great and fair king, where all of the people in the kingdom are harmonious and happy.
Some people believe a country should be everyone out for themselves, and no one needs to help anyone, and some people think otherwise.
In a lab experiment, no one is wrong.
In reality however, things are much more convoluted and corrupt, so now we just fight.
