Well, they may be irrelevant to you, but those terms are routinely used by vast numbers of people and regularly trotted out by what now passes for "news".
Very few of the above actually define the terms. My definition of left is any collectivist ideology that subsumes the rights of the individual to that of the State.
Thus, I view both the DNC and GOP as leftist parties, because both are collectivist to the core, with minor quibbles as to which individual rights are to be violated and how much, and by what mechanisms, the population will be fleeced by the State.
Collectivism is slavery, and all its infernal permutations differ only in degree.
The only political organization in the US that is not collectivist is the Libertarian Party, and only since it has recently been taken over by actual free-market capitalists and proponents of liberty, and largely purged of the leftists that infested it for decades.
If the economic and social disaster a century of leftism has caused is ever to be reversed via political means, the LP is likely the only hope.
I don't believe that the uniparty is collectivist; that would imply that everything they do is to benefit the collective... nothing further from the truth; they simply do NOT care about people (which are referred to in terms of endearment as "deplorables")...
The uniparty is just tyrannical and they aim to rule over scared individuals, rather than a strong collective.
Collectivism has nothing to do with any "benefit" to the "collective", and never has.
It is simply a rhetorical mechanism to bamboozle useful idiots into empowering a bolshevik and/or fascist elite to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else, while pretending they are serving some "common good" or another, all of which are utter nonsense.
If you live in a society where the State robs Peter to give to Paula, after taking a nice cut, you live in a collectivist society.

Seriously?
Collectivism has nothing to do with any "benefit" to the "collective", and never has.
