Not bad but might apply more to liberalism IMO. I think the word “accepting” (of change) is doing a lot of work when you consider revolutionary communism, whose whole mission is to force change at any cost.
The left-right dichotomy is almost completely useless IMO. “Almost” because for some mysterious reason everybody can situation themself on it. I think it’s more about identity than anything else. Football teams.
I think a better one is acceptance of change.
Sometimes change is good, sometimes the world is not ready. I think this aligns closely with “cynical” and “naïve” but just makes it more abstract.
Some change is actually bad.
Right seems more tribal and more focused on in-group
Left seems more accepting of out-group, people who are different
The trouble being that this possibly makes the Nazis left wing, which nobody contemporary with them saw them as.
In school this was taught to me as reactionary-conservative-progressive-radical and contrasted with left vs. right.
