I've no idea about punk, but our parent didn't talk about wings but about libertarianism.

I also believe that those themes you listed in your first sentence are there to imply that they are somehow inherently left-wing, which would be a partisan statement.

For example: there is certainly an authoritarian left and an authoritarian right as well as an anti-authoritarian left and an anti-authoritarian right.

But, more generally I think that "left" and "right" do more harm than good for describing political content dimensions.

Historically, punk has definitely been on the left than the right, but I somewhat agree those aren't the best terms (but they are what most use, so I used them). A better way to see the political spectrum is the the Political Circle or Horse-shoe theory. Zerohedge would be in the lunatic fringe area.
