For almost all of human history, the current center of the the western Overton window would have been considered far, far left. Does that mean that monarchism and feudalism is the true center, and liberalism is actually the same as being to the far right of monarchism?

The modern left-right political spectrum only makes sense in a modern sense. Trying to apply it like it's some sort of universal law is stupid. Monarchism, for example, can't be placed on the spectrum because there are different types of monarchies that are radically different from each other and there are different monarchs within each of those systems that are radically different from each other.
