The reality of human thought and political belief can\u2019t be captured on a single one-dimensional line. There are many dimensions by which we can measure political persuasions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we look at those other dimensions we need to understand where this one came from. It is a surprisingly simple story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Left &amp; Right came from where people sat.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The terms \u201cLeft\u201d and \u201cRight\u201d in politics came from where people sat in the French National Assembly leading up to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/French_Revolution\">French Revolution in 1789<\/a>. Those who supported the rights and privileges of the King, the aristocracy, and the clergy were on the right of the president&nbsp; (the &#8220;Right Wing\u201d). Those who were on the left (the &#8220;Left Wing\u201d), angered by those same privileges for the elite sought to establish a more egalitarian society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That happened over two centuries ago. So how did that work out?&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It didn&#8217;t end well.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not very well actually. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/French_Revolution#First_Republic\">First Republic<\/a> dates to 1792. In 1793 they executed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_XVI_of_France\">King Louis XVI.<\/a> The dictatorship of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Committee_of_Public_Safety\">Committee of Public Safety<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reign_of_Terror\">Reign of Terror<\/a> soon followed with some 17,000 public executions. As many as 10,000 died in prison without a trial. Historians don&#8217;t agree on the count in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_in_the_Vend\u00e9e\">Vendee Genocide<\/a>, numbers ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. After interminable turmoil, Napoleon Bonaparte took control in 1799, and was declared Emperor in 1804. This led to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Napoleonic_Wars\">Napoleonic Wars<\/a> that finally ended in 1815 with the final defeat of  Napoleon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French Revolution started out with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_Man_and_of_the_Citizen\">Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen<\/a>. It ended with a bloodbath, dictatorship, and wars that decimated France and Europe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But again how does all of that apply to America today? This country has never had a legally established aristocracy. Churches in America have never had the privileges and power once held&nbsp;by the Catholic Church in France. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Title_of_Nobility_Clause\">Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution<\/a> specifically prohibits the granting of titles of nobility by the United States government. The United States Constitution was ratified in 1788, a year before the French Revolution. It has been a model for limited government and respect for individual rights since the ink first dried on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one is arguing that it was perfect, or was perfectly followed in principle. It was a model of an enlightened government regardless of any criticisms of its implementation. It was the ideals in that document that eventually led to the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, there is a clear principle to be drawn from the French Revolution. The principle is about conservation vs. change. The Right seeks to conserve and the Left seeks change. If we are to use this principle consistently then any political movement seeking to change the status quo is on the Left. Those seeking to preserve the existing regime are on the Right. Simple, right? <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither protecting what is established or changing it into something else has in itself any inherent good or evil. We can only impute moral good or evil when considering what is to be preserved or the changes some wish to make. We also need to examine how likely it is that those goals will actually be achieved in reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The road to hell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need to consider the old proverb that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_road_to_hell_is_paved_with_good_intentions\">The road to hell is paved with good intentions<\/a>.\u201d Nowhere is that fact more evident than in the French Revolution and in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Russian_Revolution\">Russian Revolution<\/a> that&nbsp;followed in the 20th century. We have already mentioned the blood bath of the French Revolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian Revolution led to the Soviet Union. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin\">Estimates<\/a> of how many died in the Soviet Communist Gulags vary from several million up to 12 million. Another 7 million victims are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin\">credited<\/a> with state planned famines to collectivize agriculture in the Soviet Union between 1932 and 1933.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will never know the exact numbers. The Soviet Union was certainly in the same league as Nazi Germany in murdering its own people. The Communists just had different reasons and techniques for murdering them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their own minds many of the Russian revolutionaries, like the French revolutionaries, saw themselves as champions of humanity. The results, however, did not live up to their ideals and that is an important fact to consider. History teaches that good intention more often than not leads to disaster without plans grounded in the reality of human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we have seen where the political terms of Left and Right originally came from. In the next article, we will examine the meaning of Left and Right as it evolved in the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Next:   <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inamerica.us\/index.php\/politics\/the-illusion-of-left-and-right-part-2\/\"><strong>The Illusion of Left and Right \u2013 Part 2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a9 2019 Lawrence W.
