Might as well add my 2 cents to this. Not to derail but I think left and right are both outdated😭 there should be a new system with new ideas and it should be called Up and Down
I think the terms 'progressive' and 'conservative' are still functional. And the other two axis of the political compass (authoritative versus anarchical) are still relevant. But it's over simplified and people differ on beliefs based on economic, domestic, international and social categories.

In the 3D political compus, the ideas of 'collectivism' versus 'individual' are introduced, showing how complex this really gets.

The terms 'left' and 'right' themselves are outdated as the meanings seem to keep changing. Imagine 21st century Labour (UK) and Democrat (USA) parties as left wing? They're centre-right at best.

Up and Down is a funny analogy though, how would that even work
