leftist and rightist ideologies
In politics you must have often heard the words leftist and rightist. But there is a difference of ideology between leftist and rightist. However, it was never always like this in politics. It started from France. Let us tell you that the leaders who came to the National Assembly of France to prepare the Constitution had taken such a decision, due to which Left Wing and Right Wing were born. Gradually, these words became so associated with the ideas that politics got divided into two factions and these words are used not only in India but in many countries of the world.
People belonging to the left wing believe that every person in the society should be treated equally. There should be no discrimination against anyone. This ideology focuses on promoting equality, change and progress. Apart from this, it talks about collecting more taxes from the rich, so that the goal of equality can be achieved. Whereas in leftist thinking, nationalism means social equality. Right-wing ideology is considered conservative. Their economic policy talks about collecting less taxes. In this, important status has been given to officials, traditions and nationalism.
