I would imagine it depends on what these groups believe in. For example wouldn’t a group that opposes abortion be considered right wing? I would hope so. I think it depends on the groups beliefs. I think left wing works the same way.
I think they’re called “right wing” because those who are doing the “calling” are “left wingers.” It’s all a matter of perspective.
Right wing/Left wing would come down to the type of government advocated.
The claim is being made that these militia members were attempting a seditious overthrow of police authority so they could establish their own post-apolocalyptic system of rule. Doesn’t sound right wing to me.
Left wing is clearly Socialist. Those who defend our Constitutional form of government and oppose soft-socialism and judicial activism have been always called “right wing extremists” for trying to maintain the sytem that the Left has sought to subvert for 100 years.
This isn’t to say that conservatives oppose ALL change. It comes down to whether the government has the authority to mandate a change and what the impact is on personal liberty.
We are told that abortion is a sacred sacrement to the Left Wing. But it is a more recent plank of political correctness rather than a core principle of socialism.
I think that's the question here. What does this group believe that caused the media to call them right-wing?
