Left right is for approach to things, not ideology. You can have a leftist capitalist (an ordoliberalist) or a right wing socialist (a Nazi)... 

The right-left paradigm is rooted in the early 19th century French assembly, a dispute between absolutists and democratic republicans (the latter including liberals/capitalists and socialists alike), in that post-enlightenment landscape. Anything outside of that context, is just pushing a square peg into a round hole and hoping it explains things well.

Must be the reason I gave up on trying to place myself on the left or right (and explains why Trump and Sanders are my guys)!
