Almost, but not quite. Yes we do need more communication between the populist left and right, but traditionalism isn't as bad as you portray it, but simply a desire for a stable social framework for people to thrive within. What the right gets wrong though is that capitalism destroys that order, not serves it. A true beyond left and right social order would revive maker and merchant guilds, and put strict limits on the size of organizations. It would train all people in a meaningful career, set a fixed fair price for goods and services, and demand excellence and service from all people in the context of locally regulated non capital intensive market that has no usury lending, and easy access to the goods and education necessary to start small enterprises and voluntary cooperatives.
