    After the French Revolution, they arranged the seats in the legislature with the most progressive on the left, and the most conservative on the right.

    This left-right axis is often still used in modern politics.

    On the American politics version of this spectrum, “liberal” defines those in the center who are in the middle and who accept whatever they are given. Leftist progressives fight for a better future.
