Do you know just one country where lefts were ( an are ) not violent? Beginning from Russia hijacked from 1917 until now 2020 by a Marxist gang and ending by modern Europe?Dostoevsky as the one of the biggest writers of all times described leftist mob as 'Demons'. The same did Ann Coulter in her book 'Demonic'. We are living in terrible times predicted in the Revelation book, Covid-1984 demons already govern us, the bad is good and the good is bad now and if you keep to stay critical and sane you can be murdered by any 'progressive' without punishment. God help us to survive in the most dark time of the human history.

Tens of thousands of Chileans gathered in the central square of Santiago to mark the one-year anniversary of mass protests that left over 30 dead and thousands injured, with peaceful rallies on Sunday devolving by nightfall into riots and looting.
People gathered early in the day in demonstrations downtown and in cities throughout Chile that gained size and fervor through the evening. Many touted signs and rainbow colored homemade banners calling for a "yes" vote next Sunday in a referendum over whether to scrap the country's dictatorship-era Constitution, a key demand of the 2019 protests.
The demonstrations, while largely peaceful early on, were marred by increasing incidents of violence, looting of supermarkets and clashes with police across the capital later in the day. Fire truck sirens, burning barricades on roadways and fireworks on downtown streets added to a sense of chaos in some neighborhoods.

In defense of Leftists who maintain their power using the force of violence, if they did not use violence, they would lose, or never gain, power.

So, there's that...

So Chile should should not draft a new constitution? A move supported by parties from across Chile's political spectrum, both left and right.

Chile shows the exact opposite of what you said

Allende was elected, violently overthrown, Pinochet used violence to maintain power.

Now the government is killing people to maintain power and is a right leaning government

Leftists have destroyed countries everywhere around the globe and Chile will be no different. Ignorant ideologies know no boundaries. https://www.wsj.com/articles/chiles-suicide-mission-11603052967?mod=itp_wsj&mod=&mod=djemITP_h
 
How exactly does drafting a new constitution whose contents are not even yet decided do any of that?
Good point. The author of the opinion piece, who specializes in Latin American affairs', is only predicting a leftist Constitution. We'll see what finally emerges.

How do you define "right leaning"?

To me, the more dispersed power is in any system, the more "right leaning" it is.

The more centralized power is in any system, the more "left leaning" it is.

The closer power is to the people who are governed, the more democratic that government is. When power is reserved to a central government that government is, to me, Leftist.

Well if you use your own definitions for words they can mean anything

Sure.

I mean, that's never been the definition or idea behind either left or right wing, but I guess you can use that if you want.

Well, then, offer what YOU feel is the prime difference in the real world between those who are politically Left and those who re politically Right.

What description is better?

Where would you put religious groups that use the government to impose morality laws on a society. Left or right
Where would you put Pinochet and Allende (Pinochet fascist, Allende socialist)?
 
What description is better?

The philosophy of conservatism, most associated with the right wing, has varied from nation to nation in the form of various ideologies. It's based heavily on the political history of the nation. There have been plenty of conservative states (Putin's Russia, the German Empire) where power was not very evenly distributed.
