A lot of people seem to have different definitions of "left" and "right", even though the "wikipedia" definition, which I use, seems to be that the left emphasizes egalitarianism and the right doesn't.

on the right track there but its a little deeper than that. it's pretty much nature vs nurture. everything the left approaches is pretty much from the perspective that very little if anything is innate. we are all blank slates. everything is a 'social construct' to be relentlessly and rapidly improved upon. 'people are the same everywhere you go.' of course the right (the actual right) has always been the polar opposite of this.

It depends on the time and the place in which it is used.
not really. the only exception as has been pointed out may be the soviet union given how bizarrely socially conservative the stalinists and a lot of the hardline were.
