That definition would fail for the original usage — given that the Left then was against the governing king. It also doesn’t fit examples of Left anti-authoritarians and of Leftists who work for community empowerment.
The Right tends to worship hierarchy, tradition, and obedience.
That said, many people are non-ideological or mixed. Often what is seen in the US and Europe is self-identifies Leftists adopting Right methods — compulsion, hierarchy, and unreason.
