Left wingers want collective ownership of the Means of Production, right wingers want individual ownership of the Means of Production.

What follows from that are generally a bunch of interconnected, intersectional views. Leftists tend to oppose hierarchy, rightists tend to support hierarchy.

In Empire (aka USA) as there is no true opposition, they're the same picture, the same lobbyists and so on

Those who wank off with left hand are left wingers and those that wank off with right hand are right winger. And none of them are gonna care about your privacy or freedom.

It is better to conceptualize political allegiance by which ideology they support: socialism, social capitalism, liberal capitalism, or fascist capitalism.

Political "debates" are useless, but I always like to watch different conceptions from different countries.

When I see USA politics right-wingers have some speeches and actions that left-wingers have in my home country and vise-versa.

Like, leftwingers in my country usually attack a former rightwing president because he supposedly fomented immigration, specially illegal immigration. (Although, here rigwingers also have more hate against the inmigrant, just like US) 1 (sorry for the language, didn't find an english version of it)

Or a former leftwing president that mobilized our army to Haiti to protect their democracy 2

Same with labels: In US "liberal" is a left wing label, in my country is a righ wing one.

Same apply in other countries, like I see Spanish news when "republicans" are the radical ones, usually left-wing, because they oppose monarchy, and the "republican" flag is a left-wing symbol for spaniards.

That's why political labels are pretty useless too. Republican means literal nazi or revolutionary against monarchy depending where you are lol.
