the most fundamental question imo is more like "do you support the rights of private property owners to passively make money through the exploitation of basic human needs?"

if No, you are on the left. if Yes, you are on the right.

from there, if you're on the right, we can ask further questions, such as "which services, if any, should be provided free of charge by the state?" to ascertain how far on the right they are. questions about minimum wage and wealth redistribution are also relevant here.

i dont think that is accurate for the political divisions of any country anywhere

because basically everyone's answer is yes and the left-leaning answers tend to mix regulation of that passive income with state welfare programs

but i do get where you are going with this and i think youre on the right general track

i think the more fundamental question that divides right vs left is "how much should we slow the progression of society in order to minimize the disruption of order that progress causes as a side-effect"

there's not a clear delineation of where the center is, it's somewhat society-specific

but when trump gets on the national stage and says this you know exactly who he's speaking to
