Hey guys. Should I be Left Wing or Right Wing? Why?

Right Wing, Conservative.

For the simple fact that I don't think that Government doesn't have the right to embody progress itself, but it should only create conditions for progress, that is to say, the State is suposed to be pragmatic; State solves concrete problems in society, that is to say, it's competes to the ''People'' to handle progress, this is, private enterprise, scientists, thinkers, artists, philosophers. All of those have the right to earn the rewards of their own merit, as in fact, the only thing that should condition your rise in society should be yourself.

In the Right Wing, I don't think that everyone should be born on the same conditions, but everyone should be evaluated under the same conditions; your economic conditions at birth shouldn't influence your career, only your proficiency at what you do.

It is not fair to create the same social and economical conditions to everyone simply because we are all different; some of us deserve better, others deserve worse, others deserve different, and so on. Society needs to have margin for all kinds of different people possible, and in fact, the State does not have the right to condition in any way your path. The only situation where the State has the right to influence how you live is when you do not work in according to Society's rules.
As Aristotle said, Man is a Political being. Part of what makes us human is essentially our ability to stablish connections with others, and create culture, and a society. From the moment you do not contribute in the construction of society, that is, if you start breaking rules, or destroying the structures that support it, you lose the right to participate or earn anything through it.
In fact, if you disagree with the way things are established, you have the right to question, not destroy them. It is through civic participation, through citizenship, and through the quality of your work that you should change society, due to the simple fact that any attack that you do to Society as a hole has repercussions in the people that are in it.
And this is the essence of Conservatism; Society is structured in a way that you shouldn't attack and destroy, but that you can question and reform through YOUR own work.
The Left Wing state wants to embody merit itself, and wants to give people what they need. I'd rather having people able enough to create for themselves what they need, and answering their own needs.
