The term "right-wing" refers to political ideologies or movements that advocate for individual freedom, free markets and limited government intervention. This means they believe in reducing the role of the state in people's lives and promoting personal responsibility, economic liberty and traditional values. Right-wingers typically support conservative policies such as lower taxes, less regulation, and strong defense. They often oppose social welfare programs, affirmative action, and liberal social policies. The right wing is generally associated with political parties on the center-right to far-right of the political spectrum.
