Dead center left liberal while I would have thought I was a centrist.  What a roller coaster ride this wacky thing we call life is!

Can anyone tell me why "Left" means "Liberal" and "Right" means "Conservative"?

It's due to the seating arangments of one of the Early French Republics IIRC.  The seating of the legislature was arranged in a semi-circle, and the different political parties, while trying to get into caucusing groups wound up sitting so that the left side was full of liberals, and the right side, the conservatives.

But that's just me lol.

I know that ;)

What i mean is "conservative" can mean "right" - like commies here in Russia, while "liberals" are "right" (pro-western parties).

Also, can you judge who was conservative or liberal between left communists (Trotsky, Mao, Khoji) or right communists (Tito), or "centrists" like Stalin? ;)

LOL!  It labeled me a liberal, close to the authoritarian border.  Too funny.
