The origin of these terms comes from the French revolution, were society was notoriously divided. The right wing looked out to preserve the privileges and economical superiority of the nobility and the clergy.
Obviously the panorama is nowadays very different, which is why I raise the question of, where does the left and right wings stand nowadays; taking into consideration that the last important left wing governments (socialism/communism) failed and that, all (for the most part) considered as right wing governments have strong social programs that rely on the taxation of those with more financial resources.
Is the future of sociological and political structures in the left wing, the right wing of neither?
