What does “right-wing” and “left-wing” even mean at this point?
Historically it apparently meant who sits on the right side and who sits on the left side of the president of the french National Assembly.
From wikipedia:
The terms “left” and “right” first appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the Ancien Régime to the president’s right side and supporters of the revolution to his left side.
But i think that’s a kinda stupid categorization because it doesn’t explain why things developed like this. They could have developed completely differently, and are therefore arbitrary and not reliable.
