Yes. The original meaning of left wing and right wing were the radical and conservative wings of the French parliament; the former being for liberalism, the later for monarchism. It has since kept its same meaning, progression or regression.
The DNC’s official party stances are objectively regression. Progression, at this stage of socioeconomic development for the US, would be socialism.
