# Left Vs Right (Vs Pseudoleft)
Left and right are two basic opposing political sides that roughly come down to the pro-equality (left) and pro-hierarchy (right). The division to left and right is the most common and basic one in the world of politics, though people very often disagree a lot on the meaning and significance of this division. Historically the terms *left* and *right* came from the opposing sides at which members of national assembly physically sit during 1789 French revolution, however since then they evolved into possessing more generalized meanings of simply anti and pro hierarchy. Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion and vagueness about these terms, so let us now define them as used on [this wiki](lrs_wiki.md):
Left and right are two basic opposing political sides, roughly coming down to pro-equality (left) and pro-hierarchy (right). In politics the division to left and right is the most common and basic one despite very frequent disagreements about its meaning and significance. By [historical](history.md) point of view the terms *left* and *right* arose from the opposing sides at which members of national assembly physically sit during 1789 French revolution, however since then they evolved into possessing more generalized meanings of simply anti and pro hierarchy. Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion and vagueness about the terms, so let us now define them as used on [this wiki](lrs_wiki.md):
- The (true) **left is pro social equality**, i.e. against social hierarchies of any kind. This includes equality of all living beings, period. Note that social equality does NOT imply people being made (or being made to appear) equal in other ways, e.g. physically -- true left accepts difference between people and [races](race.md) and doesn't hide them. Even if the perfectly ideally leftist society can't be completely achieved, true left tries to get **as close to it as possible**. The values of true left are for example sharing, [love](love.md), [pacifism](pacifism.md), [selflessness](selflessness.md), [altruism](altruism.md), forgiveness, sharing and nonviolence. Groups and movements that are at least highly truly leftist include [anarcho pacifism](anpac.md), [veganism](veganism.md), [free software](free_software.md), [free culture](free_culture.md) and of course [LRS](lrs.md).
- The **right is pro social hierarchy**, i.e. against social equality. This means some people standing above others, be it by strength, power, wealth, social status, privileges etc. The rightist values are mostly those associated with [evil](evil.md), i.e. violence, oppression, conflict, war, revenge, survival of the fittest etc. Among rightism can be included [fascism](fascism.md), [capitalism](capitalism.md), US republican party, states, [military](military.md) etc. One of right's identifying features is **hypocrisy**, i.e. it judges what's good/bad only by against whom it is targeted, e.g. violence is bad when targeted against "us" ("those Muslims are bad, they want to kill us!") but good when targeted against "them" ("we have to kill those Muslims because they're violent!"); so animals killing humans is judged as "bad" but humans killing animals is "good". In other words right has no sense of morality, only the sense of [self interest](self_interest.md).
