Abstract: Abstract Bangladesh goes as usual with a system based on exploitative relations—a few exploiting a many; and defending exploitative relations is a fundamental characteristic of the right-wing politics, economy and culture. The economy with capital’s yet-persisting dominance with widespread primitive accumulation and capital accumulation, and politics that dominate the Bangladesh society are fundamentally not different from the economy and politics of exploitative relations and its reproduction. It’s an economy owned by the exploiting classes. It’s a politics dominated by the exploiting classes. With this basis, expecting anything other than the Right is utopia. Spots and niches having no Rightist character or shade are pro-people force’s clinching out space in class struggle; and the factors that create or construct those spaces are either the dominating sections’ tact or compromise due to pressure from people; and these exceptions don’t change the dominating economy’s and politics’ fundamental character—Right. The Right-domination is not confined within the precinct of rise of a particular political party, far-Right or center-Right, or spread of a certain ideology; it’s a system-wide spread.
