There's a very simple litmus test for whether an idea is right or left of center. If someone is trying to convince you that you have more agency than you think, it's rightist. If they're trying to convince you that you have less agency than you think, it's leftist. Both bad.

There’s something here, but I’m not sure “agency” is the correct category. After all, the belief that you can change the world is the foundation of every social moment. Maybe the litmus test ought to consider injustice, compassion, responsibility, or optimism about solving evils?

Right. Maybe then. I meant just one of those potential candidates. I think the last one, optimism about solving social ills or evils is probably the one I would pick.
