Explanation:

Left often refers to those who are in favour of the poor, downtrodden sections and support government policies for the benefit of these sections.

The Right refers to those who believe that free competition and a market economy alone ensure progress and that the government should not unnecessarily intervene in the economy.

2.The socialist model as in the USSR.
