    Your premise assumes that political thinking is
    1) One dimensional
    2) Binary in nature (no wishy-washy Center positions)

    I attribute this limited concept to getting "information" from Lamestream Media, who are
    1) Lazy
    2) Beholding to their ideologically-driven advertisers|owners

    ...and, again, "Left" means that someone is anti-Capitalist in nature.
    If an individual's philosophy does NOT include the concept of "collective ownership of the means of production", he is on the Right-hand side of the political palate.

    ...and WRT e.g. the USA's Libertarian Party vs the Socialist Workers Party, the concept of personal liberty (progressiveness) is clearly a separate value that does not track one's economic philosophy and belongs on a separate axis.
