Okay, no wonder I'm confused. This is approximately what I understand under right and left wingers:

Right wingers - Slightly right winged are conservative people (who don't want change, as SC quoted it). However, really right-winged means faschism and Nazi, racism, etc.

Left wingers - Socialists (what Europeans consider Socialist) are a bit more than slightly left winged. Ecological groups like our Green Party are more left oriented than them, extreme ecological groups like Greenpeace even farther left. However, "left" is defined by "Socialist" or "Communist" in my book. So the Antifa (anti - faschists) would be a very very far left group, the left-wing terrorists would be extremist left.
Er... not too clear. However, that is what I understand under left- and rightwinger: rightwinger: negative, leftwinger: positive when not extreme or too far left.
I think you can understand that I've been a bit confused by this discussion.


Pretty good. Except for the Right wing not wanting change. The Right want's change if the current system is to the Left (just like the Left want's change if the current system is to the Right). It's all done in relation to where you sit. So, if you're in the US and you're slightly left you're OK and there's a good balance. However, if that's not were you are, you want change. Either further to the left or further to the right.
