Right-wing politics, also known as rightism, is a broad spectrum of political thought which is in support of the status quo in society. This usually entails support for autocratic or oligarchic governmental systems, reactionary and discriminatory positions towards marginalized demographics, disdain for the exploited classes, xenophobia, and rejection of societal progress. Under capitalism, the most prominent right-wing ideologies include liberalism, fascism, monarchism, and bourgeois libertarianism.
Modern rightists are almost universally opposed to socialism, communism, and workers' movements in general, making them inherently opposed to left-wing ideology.
