Well, it was defined against a monarchical scale, so it’s severely different, yes. But ‘right’ and ‘left’ are basically self-identified terms, anyway. If we define ‘right’ as being on the conservative side, then the ‘right’ were the ones who wanted to keep the King and monarchy, but reform the system in general. If we define ‘right’ in terms of authoritarianism, then Robespierre’s group was probably the farthest on the ‘right’.
