Well, clearly the right is more organized than the left, then. Because they aren’t using magic to accomplish their goals. The mechanisms exist, we just need to start using them, instead of simply complaining about the fact that other people are better at using those mechanisms against us.
So, you think the slow progression to the right, is just a coincidence? That there’s just some natural law that dictates the flow of policy in one direction only, and that it’s just accidentally benefitting the rich and powerful, every time?
It doesnt mean the right is more organized, it means the socioeconomic power structures favor right wing policies that work to dismantle what power the working class has ever managed to grasp. Capitalism is the root of the problem, and capital simply will not incrementally cede it’s power away to The People through the mechanisms built to preserve said power.

That’s not an accident. It’s also not a natural phenomenon. It is deliberate. That’s what makes it “organized”. Generations of intentional effort have gone into building and maintaining it.

“Capitalism” is not a conscious entity. “Capitalism” doesn’t “do” any of those things. People do. We choose the systems we live by. The problem is that some people have taken the time and made the effort to commandeer those systems for their own benefit, by exploiting the rest of us.
That doesn’t make us helpless. Collective action gives us power. We just need to use it.

“Uneducated people are pushed to the right by the right and the Neoliberals =/= coordinated”
Not coordinated by the uneducated people. Coordinated by the wealthy capitalists who want to perpetuate a system that exploits those people.
Then it isn’t the Republicans who are coordinated.

C’mon, man.
