The Terms "Left" and "Right"

I have always favored the abandonment of using the terms "left" and "right" to describe political stances. Such terms are inaccurate to describe political beliefs. After the demise of the Soviet Union, there was a brief shining moment when it appeared my dream might come true. My joy was short-lived. Today, virtually every single political stance and every single politician or commentator must necessarily be labeled as "left-wing" or "right-wing".
