Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

Yeah, that's where the left-right concept kinda breaks down.

It feels wrong to say the USSR wasn't left when you consider the many left policies they had and of course their origin.

I also agree with your idea of what left-wing should mean. I guess there's no way to avoid complexity with topics like this.
