There are real power and political blocks and if we can't name them, we can't discuss them. Right and Left are real political terms and whilst they're a crude implement they're still useful. Meanings shift over time but some of that shift is simply a lack of awareness of the original meanings. For example, the political Left has become almost entirely synonymous with Globalist. It hasn't always been and wont always be but currently the overlap between Globalists and Leftists is near total. Conversely the overlap between Globalist and Right-wing is far less. It exists - primarily in the Right's leadership but fights a running battle with the Nartionalist Right. Similarly, the Left's leadership is overwhelmingly Progressive as is much of the European Right's leadership but not the American Right's leadership. The huge overlap of current Left-Wing with Progressive and Globalist causes people who are critical of these things to largely identify as being against the Left and thus think of themselves as Right Wing. In essence, the Right becomes that faction of refuge for anyone who is anti-Globalist, non-Progressive. I agree with you that the term Left Wing and Right Wing get messed about a lot, but my solution is that people properly understand the nuances of Globalist, Left-Wing and Progressive, not abandon terms. Because as I said at the start, if we can't name something we can't discuss it or oppose it.
