idea

Capitalism and democracy are two relatively complementary ideologies, although they work in opposition.

democracy as an ideology is fundamentally about equality, and offering everyone a hand in the governing system.

capitalism is about the potential success of anyone but not everyone, and so is founded on the basis of a natural hierarchy.

This is what opposes left and right wings. When presented with a problem, leftist are people who tend to side on the democratic solution, rightist tend to side with the capitalist. Thus the opposition in solutions where left favors regulations, while right favors self regulating free market and "voting with your dollars".
