**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](capitalism "wikilink") and
opposition to modern social justice movements is seen as a right-wing
belief, despite frequent conflicts with the anti-capitalist right.
## Psychology
According to Moral Foundations Theory, right-wing politics values the
concept of:
- *Care*: cherishing and protecting others; opposite of *harm*
- *Fairness* or *proportionality*: rendering justice according to
shared rules; opposite of *cheating*
- *Loyalty* or *ingroup*: standing with your group, family, nation;
opposite of *betrayal*
- *Authority* or *respect*: submitting to tradition and legitimate
authority; opposite of *subversion*
- *Sanctity* or *purity*: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods,
actions; opposite of *degradation*
In contrast to the political left
