In American terms:

Left = Large government with a degree of wealth redistribution to social programs for retirement, healthcare, education, social safety nets, etc.
Right= Small government, free markets, minimal regulation, no redistribution of wealth.

These two visions of what government should be are not so compatible with each other.

We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
