Got to take this in context.
In the United States, the "traditional distinction between left and right" is between neoliberals who like abortion and neoliberals who hate abortion, and people who talk about overcoming that "traditional distinction" are typically arguing for some new form of right wing cryptofascism, so it's fair to be suspicious.
But what they're talking about here is the traditional distinction between left and right in Europe - a distinction based on support for capitalism versus opposition to capitalism - and how that might not be an effective way to understand society if the economic policies supported by the right are no longer capitalist.
That's a fair point, I was definitely thinking about it from the American Cryptofash angle. However, that would still ultimately be a left-right divide, it just means the divide is better seen through a different distinction, whatever that ends up being.
Only context I need is left good right bad lmao
