Left versus Right as a Political shorthand is nonsense. The true Political spectrum is Libertarian versus Authoritarian

Conservative is not an Economic Ideology
Ariel Malka and Michael Inzlicht's The Paradox of the Free Market Liberal editorial suffers from the misconception that a Conservative is anything other than one who wishes to preserve an old stable order. Vladimir Putin uses the same political messages to Russian Conservatives despite their wish for a re-distributive economic model. Free market ideology is neither Left (Liberal in the new sense of the label) or Right (Conservative) but rather Libertarian as opposed to Authoritarian, ergo the problem with the left right universal shorthand of politics.
