Comment: The following is offered as an alternative to help resolve an ongoing dispute over a passage in the lead section of Right-wing politics. – OhioStandard (talk) 19:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC) [reply]

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics says, in part, "In advanced liberal democracies, perhaps more than anything else the right has been defined in opposition to socialism or social democracy. As a result, the ideologies and philosophies of right–wing political parties have included elements of conservatism, Christian democracy, [classical] liberalism, libertarianism, and nationalism; and for extreme–right parties racism and fascism. The dictionary continues, "In surveys, self-placement on a 'left–right' scale is associated with attitudes on economic policy, especially redistribution and privatization/nationalization, post-materialism, and ( particularly in Catholic countries ) religiosity."^[1]
