@peter jeffrey cobb,
I Pete am stunned also but for a different reason, having long considered the dualistic Phnom an insult to human intelligence. It’s as if early on it’s necessary to place yourself in one category or the other, then adopt all its presumptions. But in answer to your q:
Those on the right emphasize independence of the individual and limited government; those on the left, the weakness of the individual, its exploitation by the right, and its dependence upon Government, esp for protection from overwhelming outside influence
