Right-Wing Politics or the Political Right are a range of political perspectives which emphasise the importance, benefits, inevitability and normalcy of hierarchy. Right-wing politics often emphasises the importance of concepts like loyalty, respect for authority, purity, family, tradition, hard work and a natural order. In addition, strong belief in capitalism and opposition to modern social justice movements is seen as a right-wing belief, despite frequent conflicts with the anti-capitalist right.
