COMMENTARY

It's time for a revolution towards freedom in viet-nam but it is necessary to be careful of post-communist fascists like pinochet.

This is not true. Austria is actually no. 1 and Germany is probably around no. 5. Due to a lingering element of shame over Nazism, people are reluctant to admit to being as right-wing as they actually are.

The political systems in western nations are categorised along a left-right spectrum. Characteristics of right wing politics include:

A capitalist economy
Liberty has a higher value than equality.
Economic liberty is a priority.
Government intervention in moral issues.
Emphasis on fair processes
Individual responsibility

This statistic from the World Values Survey states the percentage of people who described themselves as far-right. Self placement would be influenced by the meaning of the terms political left and right within the context of each country surveyed.
