    I think it's a common misunderstanding these days that right always wants free market capitalism and left stands for anti-capitalism.

    Left and right are more about your general worldview. The left wants change and to disrupt the current system, the right believes in tradition and keeping power structures in place.

    So a true right-wing society would look like one where the powerful (such as elites and ethnic majority) enjoy a lot of power, and religious and moral structures stay in place.
