The word left, center, and right usually refer to the political landscape of the country being discussed. For example, centrists in Israel would be considered right-wing in the US.
Centrist in Israel would be considered mad cow disease here.

Left wing is more pro worker protection, and Right wing is more pro pure capitalism.
In USA both Democrats and Republicans definitely side with wall street, there is very little talk among democrats about leveling the playing field between employer and employee. A playing field that has been proven to heavily favor the employer/rich without regulation.
Also AFAIK if the minimum wage of the 50’s was applied similarly today, it should be about $40. A clear sign that policies have favored the employer, and also the fact that the percentage of wealth has consistently moved towards the rich.
The difference is about protecting those at the top against protecting those at the bottom. USA has been favoring protecting those at the top, because of racism, and those at the bottom generally used to be minorities, and to some degree still are.
