Its not really a left/right thing, at least in the way Americans have defined the left/right divide.
The question is one of capitalism and free markets versus Marxism and price controls.

For us left means "liberal", though with again a different definition that isn't rooted in liberty, or " progressive", which is a horribly confusing term that seems to imply you believe incremental change is always the best approach.
Right here means "conservative", though again the definition there has gotten confusing over my lifetime.
I think its a fair argument, though, that because we have been capitalist from the beginning and don't have any history with communism in our system, the traditional left/right split is less helpful here.
