To be politically right-wing doesn't really mean anything because it doesn't express a political opinion. To be left-wing is well-defined because we know that it entails a big state and public property. We also know that liberalism is well-defined because that means to have significant private property and economic freedom, so a better axis would be liberal-communism than left-right.
It can be said that the (political) right is a subset of the left so then there is no such thing as the right, it is a myth and a cult. The right is a cult because they deny the reality of democracy, particularly in respect of the first-past-the-post system and proportional representation. The right is a cult because it denies the logic of true and direct (proportional) democratic representation.
