What does it mean to be right-wing (in 2020)?

Published: June 25, 2020, 8:44 a.m.

Being right-wing generally means we accept that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable and desirable. This position is typically supported by the understanding of natural law, economics, and tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be viewed as natural results of traditional social differences, or the competition in market economies. The term right-wing can generally refer to "the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system".
