i don`t understand left wing&right wing?

It's just a way of describing two opposites sides, as in wings of a building.\n\nTraditionally, the "left wing" or the "left" describes those who are liberal in philosophy and politics.  The "right wing" or "right" refers to those of a conservative bent.\n\nDuring the time of the Vietnam War, the left and right were known by their views on our involvement--"doves", or anti-war for the left, and "hawks", or pro-war for the right.\n\nHopefully you understand the liberal/conservative difference.  If not, post another question and we'll tackle that for you.

Democrats believe in taxation and wealth redistribution. They believe the Government is the solution to every problem.\n\nRepublicans believe that business helps spread wealth. They believe the individual is the solution to the problems they face.\n\nThe difference between left and right........... just shows how well the dumbing down of America has worked!

Im a member of the Labour Party in the UK and consider myslef to be left-wing. I am what is called a Social Democrat. My perfect politics are the ones that Scandinavian countries generally use.\n\nHigh Tax, Universal Healthcare, Good public transport, universal education, meritocratic, democratic, progressive, universal benefits, equal/civil rights - that kind of thing

EXCELLENT question.  One example takes us back to the middle ages and the Italian word for "left" (as in opposite of "right"\nSinistro, the same route word for Sinister, means left in Italian.  Left-handed people were thought to be in league with the devil.\n\nThat brings to mind the modern term RIGHT WING.  I'm sure it means CORRECT wing to some people.  Language usage and perception!

political viewpoints tend to get divided. i am an economic liberal which comes awfully close to communism because i believe in sharing the wealth and helping out your neighbor. However i am a moral conservative because i am against things like gay rights, immigration, and lots of other political questions that fall on the moral side.

There is nothing wrond with being liberal, its the opposite of conservative...  Liberal covers the entire left side of the political spectrum - it's generic for people who believe in individualism, freedom, equality, the social contract and rational evidence-based (as opposed to morality-based) public policy but often disagree on the application of these principles.

You are all over the place with this one, son.  You'll be hard pressed to find a marxist conservative (the two are on opposite sides of the spectrum) and liberal is more or less between the two and doesn't really fully agree with either side.  Then you want this nutjob to be in the center; somebody has been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh, or Al Franken--I'm not sure which.

how can you oversimplify everyone into "liberal" and "conservative" labels? At this point, those words have no meaning, because they could mean absolutely anything.\n\nFor example, liberal can mean socialist, or it could mean capitalist, and conservative could mean noninterventionist, or it could mean interventionist. Since these are directly opposed, the words have no objective meaning.\n\nThrow away the labels and use some logic.

In normal non-regional terms it means toward a private enterprise almost fascist type governmant as opposed to the left winfg which is socialist almost communist type of public ownership government.\nIt comes from the French Revolution where Socialist Republicans stood on the left of the Parliament and Monarchic Loyalists stood on the right.

Democrat = Left leaning\nCommunist = Left leaning\nSocialist = Left leaning\n\nIt becomes clear that while all three would like to sky rocket taxation, they themselves would like to remain exempt.  Detestable

Actually you sound more like a Liberal Democrat than either of what you were going for.\nI would need more info on your outlooks(?) on various topics before cementing a label on you though, but you seem to be very leftist. You've included nothing in your question that I think of when somebody says conservative or republican.

I agree with C.E. You are bias, and it appears to be that you don't care. But I will give an answer anyway. \nLiberals and Conservatives are on diff. sides. You think they're going to get along when both think that they're right? It's obvious they're not. Here's why: \nThere are some things worth fighting for. What your country does is a BIG one. \nOh, let me verify something. There are good ppl on both sides, and there are bad. Not all think the same way, but there is the general idea of both, that has been established. \nAnd this isn't democrats vs. republicans, it's liberals vs. conservatives. You need to get them straight. But here's the story on what you asked, even if you didn't know it;\nConservatives wish to conserve the morals and values of the JudeoChristian heritage that has made America great. \nLiberals wish to have "freedom" from all morals and values, esp those of the scriptures. \nDems and Republicans are diff. If you're wondering abt them, ask that. Generally though, it is the republicans that have conservative views and vice versa. \n...Conservatives believe that torturous murder of unborn babies should be illegal, and Libs believe it's the woman's choice to kill her baby or not. \nCs believe capital punishment should be used, and Ls want to be easy on such crimanals. (usually) Cs believe homosexuality is wrong, and such "unions" should not be allowed, Ls promote such stuff....\nThere is more, but that is why they don't get along. Why should they?  I am a conservative republican, and I will always fight for what I know is right, and liberal democrats will always fight against that. And that's the truth of it.

Is it ever "right?"  Unfortunately, there are so many conflicts over what is "right."  It's often folks on the "right" who feel they have the "right."  They often maintain that they're on the side of "right," or on the "right" side.  But, that doesn't mean that the "right" folks are in charge, like when the folks on the "right" take charge.  But, without "right," what's "left?"  Then what's "left" can be "right" and what's "right" can be wrong. \n\nAh, I've been in the right place, but I must have made a wrong turn...

I felt it incumbent upon me to inform you that many "right-wingers" can spell words that others have difficulty with.  Conversely, I have also found that many "left-wingers" are acceptably proficient with spelling, grammar and vocabulary.\nThe fact of the matter is, there is no way to prove a theory that only left-leaning people have any semblance of intelligence.  \nYour "question" is inflammatory, biased, and most of all, completely and utterly untrue.  In second grade, I had a college vocabulary.  I always had an A+ in English/Spelling.  Even now, my friends know me as the one to come to when they need a spellcheck performed on something they typed or penned by hand, because I rarely miss a thing.  Yet, I do lean to the right.\nOn my own works, I may have the occasional typo, but usually that occurs only when I am feeling the effects of sleep deprivation.\nBut, I digress.  To answer your question, "right-wingers" and "left-wingers" are each comprised of both morons and geniuses.\nEdit:  By the way, by insinuating that "right wingers" are intellectually deficient, you are actually further perpetuating the hate and intolerance between the two groups.  It's horribly immature, and most definitely not exemplary behavior from anyone!
