To be fair, the "other side" isn't really any better.
I've kind of seen left/right as socialistic/capitalistic respectively. Personally, I'm bigger on social/community/common (for everyone) services, like universal healthcare, than I am for capitalism in general.
There absolutely cannot be consolidation of power, making any government more like an authoritarian regime, regardless of social/communal views or objectives, but at the same time, it is theoretically possible to have a healthy amount of socialism in a democracy. Many EU nations have struck a good balance of these things already, and my country, Canada, isn't super far behind them. America is still stuck in cave-man, aggressive capitalism times.
