Lost me in the first two paragraphs.

If you're going to redefine the words "left" and "right" to suit the argument, then there's little point in reading past it.

Left does not mean an antipathy to hierarchy. Social constructionism is based largely on hierarchies, and few would argue it's a belief supported by the right.

Wikipida has LEFT = the section of a political party or system that advocates greater social and economic equality, and typically favours socially liberal ideas; the socialist or progressive group or section.

Right might be defined as "the section of a political party or system that advocates free enterprise and private ownership."
