I don't think that's true. There are certain ideologies that travel together, whose fortunes tend to wax and wane together. If you told me an ideology (say, environmentalism or unionism), then I could easily tell you whether it was on the right or left (in this case, both left).
There are exceptions in practice, but to say the labels are meaningless is silly.

There's no catch phrase for someone who tends toward slight conservatism, but is generally open to government intervention, though I imagine such people exist. That's at least two dimensions to consider, it seems to me we should at least have a plane. Here's one, Net Neutrality, what is that?
