Conformity vs Individuality
One major difference between left and right wing is society vs individual.
Left wing believes in a community where everyone is equal and no one should be poor; therefore, they increase welfares. They believe that the government should own all the resources and important industries. They also believe that the government has less power than it’s people.
Right wing believes in individuality where some individuals have more power than others. The major companies are owned by different people. The government has more power than most people.
