Left wing & Right wing this two words first time used during the French revolution of 1789. In that time people who sat on the Right side of the French national assembly were generally supporters of the king and who sat on the left were against the king and supporters of the revolution. People of first category were named Right wing and people of the second category were named Left wing.
But these two terms are now used in a Symbolic form to represent the stand on the overall discourse. Now the king is Capitalism. People who supports the system we live in and even thing we were better in a feudal system are called Right wing and those who oppose the current system and wants equal distribution of wealth more liberty change in economic , social and political system are called left wing.
