The old definition was about republic vs monarchy. Now everyone keeps using those labels. Conservative? Right wing. Socially conservative? Right wing. Economically conservative. Left wing. Weird!

Authoritative government that's socially conservative; Venezuela. Wait what? Thought they were labelled far left?

Left and right labels are pointless, refer to the parties for what they represent; social conservatives; authoritarian; etc
