Okay but, one thing I have to wonder...
How did people decide that the very concept of left as a direction is more progressive while the very concept of right as a direction is more conservative?
I was just thinking about political terminology and, as convenient as the terms are, I have to wonder how THOSE DIRECTIONS got associated with THOSE IDEOLOGIES.

Apparently it stems from French politics circa 1789, according to Wikipedia, where seating in the assembly correlated to one's political affiliation~
