Vilifying Socialism and misconstrued idea of Left

Among several other achievements of French Revolution which had profound impact on Modern history had been the coining of the term "ideology". In 1796, while participating in philosophical and political debates French Philosopher Destutt de Tracy combined the words "idea" and "logy" with a sense of neutrality to reflect political inclinations towards a given set of political thoughts.

Though representation of thoughts from a political standpoint never necessarily needed a terminology in the ancient world however the coining of the term ideology had a remarkable impact on political notions of the modern history. It helped them define better and set forward a parameter for polity and helped   avoid the politics of convenience or deviations from their political beliefs. It increasingly became a term for the analysis of different political opinions and perspectives on social strata and led to bifurcation of political ideas into the Left and the Right.

The modern world has seen a wide range of denominations of the Left and the Right however in general Left has often represented the likes of Progressives, Communists, Social-Liberals, Secularists, Anti-imperialists, Anti-Capitalist, and Socialists. Similarly the Right has represented the ideas of people identifying themselves as Conservatives, Neo-liberals, Monarchists, Theocrats, Nationalists, Capitalists, and Imperialists.
