Revolutions can be a messy business. Would you prefer to live under a monarch or in a liberal democracy?Social evolution.As time has passed, many nouns and descriptions have become so over-used as to have at best very vague meanings.
'Right' and 'left' originally referred to positions with a monarch at the center. Today, what do 'right' and 'left' mean? In relation to what do they derive their orientation?
I don't think the monarch was the axis. It was social evolution. In the original meaning, the monarch and those seated to the right were impediments to social evolution. I don't think much has changed.
Sure. Evolution.

We are a republic not a democracy
In a democracy the minority is subject to the whims of the majority.
The terms left and right have had meaning since the late 18th century.
Our republican form of government is considered democratic even though it is not a direct democracy. Democracy simply means rule by the people. Whether that is undertaken by representation or directly does not alter the premise that the people have a say in their governance.

Confronting people with the vague nature of language at least stirs the unconscious to look more deeply
"It"? What "it"? This thread is not. If you mean D.C., the U.N., the E.U., then arguably, yes.Confronting people with the vague nature of language at least stirs the unconscious to look more deeply
