The French Revolution perhaps provided the best
definition as the origional coiners of the terms.
The Left is for radical change and the Right is for
evolutionary change.
That would put mainstream politics decidedly on the right
wing side of the political spectrum.
The left wing is a rather motly collection including many
anarchists, communists and nazis, yet many of the same
types are decidedly right wing.
A historical anecdote would be the Bucharin-Rykov wing of
the Bolshevik party in the late twenties. They were right
wing while Stalin was left wing. Yet, Bucharin would be
considered quite radical for today's bean counting
politics.
This is, of course, confusing to y'all because your all a
bunch of stupid college kids.
