Just to be clear, I do not agree that I have had a muddled view with respect to capitalism or socialism on the political spectrum. The support of private ownership, as opposed to state ownership, of business and trade is one clear indicator of being right wing, certainly with respect to economic policy.

One can be “right wing” with respect to business control and economic policy, whilst being “left wing” with respect to social policy. Some Liberal Parties can have policies that reflect that. Muldoon was perhaps an example of a “right wing” socially conservative politician who supported “left wing” state involvement in the economy.

Right wing - left wing, and other political labels have become so muddled, often almost interchangable - that there is no way of knowing what the user means half the time.

Agreed, and as for anyone that holds muddled views on any given area of study or discipline, we are often quite unaware of the weak epistemological framework we hold.
