Under the see also section, structural functionalism is listed. The article on structural functionalism directly says: "It is simplistic to equate the perspective directly with political conservatism" and cites a source; following this quote it states conflict theory can be seen as having a left-wing bent. I think either a removal or a further explanation in this article about how functionalism directly relates to right wing politics would be helpful. CalorusRex ( talk) 00:26, 15 October 2017
You can not claims that America leans centre right when the polling shows a majority of Americans identify as moderate or liberal. According to Gallup, Democrats are more likely to identify as moderate than Republicans. [1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 104dragon ( talk • contribs)
Americans have a tendency to support more left-wing economic ideas [2], but at the same time view themselves as moderate or conservative. 104dragon ( talk) 16:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

As it stands, a specific poster from early 20th-century United Kingdom is a way too specific image to illustrate this subject on top of the article, and it date more than a century after the original use of the term.

Many people who identify as social/cultural liberals would object to being counted as right wing. Since the conception of left/right, social liberalism was usually a leftist project.
The political compass suggests splitting the political spectrum into an egalitarian (leftist) vs. economic liberal (rightist) dimension vs. an authoritarian/social liberal dimension. This reflects that eg. nazism is generally considered right wing and authoritarian, Soviet Union style communism is left wing and authoritarian. DarthBarth ( talk) 07:30, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
We have a single paper presenting a WP:FRINGE view of the politics of the CPC hinged off a single book by a minor academic. h-index - 9 - doesn't indicate he's particularly influential in his field. I didn't delete this when I did my first pass on the China stuff because I was more focused on the failed verifications but now I'm asking: does anybody think this is due a specific pullout?
