The Political Compass remains one of the best resources for teasing out these definitions. This is their exapliner, well worth 5 minutes of your time:
Long story short, if you try to describe economic and social politics in terms of “left” and “right” simultaneously you will come unstuck. You need to define someone’s position as economically left or right and socially authoritarian or libertarian. And one position by no means pre-ordains the other.
