Trying to fight against the rights of the majority of the population is a dangerous battle only previously tried by authoritarian dictatorships and similar regimes.

Also worth mentioning, in Romania, political left and rights seem to be flipped.

The left-right framework just isn't useful. As you've pointed out, it's relative and changes massively between each country.
