Left and right are political concepts that have broadly held since they were created in the French Revolution (with the names originating to where the people were sitting in Parliament) and still shape politics today.
In France, the main change occurred during the 19th century that started with the right being more Monarchist and the left staunchly Republican and ended with basically everyone being Republican.
But overall, right and left do mean something and that is still the case throughout Europe and the world and the difference are mainly relative to the centre.
