Left-wing politics can be described as the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchies perceived as unjust.
It typically involves a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others, as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.
The division of people into winners and losers through competition is seen as unfair.
Right-wing politics can be described as the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, or tradition.
Hierarchies and inequalities may be perceived as natural outcomes of either traditional social differences or competition in market economies.
Competition and the resultant inequalities are perceived as indispensable and crucial for progress.
Liberal politics can be described as the range of political ideologies that emphasize the moral worth of the individual.
Individual emancipation, whether from a collective or otherwise, is regarded as the ultimate goal. This may be sought through limiting the involvement of the state, or through state involvement to safeguard the interests of the individual.
Guaranteeing the freedoms and rights of individuals and private organizations is a central function of a liberal state.
Illiberal politics can be described as the range of political ideologies that emphasize the moral worth of a social collective, such as a state, nation, or class.
The goals of individuals and private organizations are seen as subordinate to the collective. Individual interests may be perceived as selfish or lacking direction.
Illiberals support regimented systems in both the economy and government. They may either support or oppose hierarchies and inequalities, depending on what is perceived as being in the interest of the collective.
