The fundamental objective of leftism is the dispersion of sociopolitical power as widely and evenly as possible, with an ideal (neither realized or considered possible) in which each person has no more and no less power than any other.
The internet is going to ruin leftism just like it did atheism. Bet.
Finally, yes, someone actually knows the actual definition of the word.
What does this mean? It sounds like you've described utopian egalitarianism, which is certainly not common in all 'left-wing' ideologies.
Considering the right side of the court was aligned with the king and the left side was opposed, its essential to what is leftism.
Many despots assert left-wing alignment that their rule is democratic no matter how autocratic it actually is, so a lot of confusion has been sewn.
