To me, left wing ideas/policies to center around empowerment of and bettering the living conditions and liberties of those within the working class. Some examples off the top of my head include things like universal healthcare, UBI, stronger taxes for the rich, and resource/wealth redistribution. Me personally, I tend to also lump in things policies that foster/support equity between people of different ethnicities, different sexualities and different gender identities (DEI essentially) and reproductive rights, just because those are things I value as a left-leaning person, and I see them espoused by other left-leaning people and leftists. However, those aren't really inherent to left wing policies like the stuff having to do with the betterment of the working class.
