The Right Oppresses, the Left Liberates

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is: "La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." or: "The right oppresses, the left liberates." (Now I kind of want to put this on a t-shirt)

A screenshot of a social media post jokes about the Spanish mnemonic “La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera,” meaning “The right oppresses, the left liberates.” The phrase helps remember which way to turn screws or lids while humorously sounding like a political slogan, prompting the poster to say they want it on a T-shirt.
