I see people talk about "the left" and it doesn't resemble my stance at all and I would count myself as being on the left. It seems, that especially in the US the term is unrecognisable from the usage anywhere else.

To me the left is about equality and ensuring that people, all people have a reasonable quality of life. That the wealth is shared in a equitable fashion and no one is exploited.

The right are about intrenching inequality not providing for others, xenophobia and nationalism.

You know that's a fair question! It's hard to define actually especially for me because I used to be considered what's known in the US as a leftist. Liberals used to be all about free speech, against unjust wars, social justice, etc. It's kind of devolved though through moral relativeness to mean whatever they think it should be because there are no absolutes. For example, if words are hurtful, those words should be banished, even though it's free speech. If it's offensive, then the person who spoke such words should be blamed for the repercussions of said speech, or death since they brought it upon themselves, for not filtering their speech through the modern PC culture. Victims of drawing muhamed for example. It's almost become a PC crime to speak the truth about certain things. Abortion for example is clearly the killing of unborn children. They like to call them fetuses. Tell that to the mother who has a party to reveal the sex of her unborn child. She doesn't refer to her child as a fetus, only those that intend to kill their kids say that. Abortion always will be the preemptive extermination of undesirables to purify the human race through the practice of eugenics, which was pushed as a freedom for women to have the choice to kill their unborn children.

Nationalism is simply self determination to rule through democratic sovereignty and representatives locally rather than globalism which is un-elected bureaucrats who rule outside the national borders. Borders are what maintain common culture, and prevent alien cultures from invasion and subversion.
