There are other things like support for social justice and human rights, anti-imperialism and internationalism, desire for systemic change, secularism, opposition to traditional hierarchies, etc

Social Justice and Human Rights are just generally good things, grouping them in with left and right just obscures your actual political stances.

Anti-Imperialism must be socialist in nature, at scale. There can be national liberatory movements from Capitalists against international Capitalists, yes, but anti-imperialism cannot be liberal within the Imperial Core.

Secularism isn't really political, and desire for systemic change is vague enough to not be a point.

Opposition to traditional hierarchies cannot be found within Capitalism.

There you go, answered.
