Can anyone explain what Left and Right means politically without using another political ideology or precept to do so?

In this graph, left means "social" (let's share all the stuff we have), and right means "market" (you gotta work and earn if you want something).

Explain what Left and Right mean, not what scale they're projected onto. Why is left social and right market? Why can it not be the other way round? The answer is, of course, because it's completely arbitrary, and that can only be possible if they are meaningless political concepts.
