Mildly interesting: The origin of the right/left spectrum comes from the National Assembly in France from 1789, where the social-liberal Democrats ("radicals") sat on the left, while the conservative aristocrats sat on the right. It goes even deeper, as the right side depicts also the "right hand" of the king.
