"Right vs left" only means the two main political parties in a government, and whatever those parties stand for. It is different in every nation and every era.

Everyone who pretends there is a worldwide eternally consistent meaning is a small minded person polluting discourse.

Not all countries even have two main parties.

Broadly speaking it boils down to collectivism vs individualism and authoritarian vs libertarian on an x,y economic axis. The social z axis defining "left" and "right" (more accurately progressive and conservative) is a spook because morality is culturally subjective.
