Like many words, how we determine what "Left" or "Right" means is determined socially, depending upon the society in which we associate what "Left" or "Right" is. I called the Left/Right divide a 'metaphysics' because it ultimately relies on conceptualization of a politics where principles are perceived as universal within a given moment. When you dumb principles down to rigid definitions instead of observing how the movements they're associated with operate and evolve within society, you dumb down politics into a metaphysics, which you just demonstrated.

If you define the "Left" as this or that, and the "Right" as this or that, irregardless of how they are actually used, you can end up calling things "Left" or "Right" even when their association with "Left" or "Right" makes no sense in practical politics.

Thank you for wasting my time.
