I am not proposing anywhere that the right-wing is staunchly authoritarian. The original right in France however did emphasis order - as in the rule of law as preceding in importance idealist pursuits of egalitarianism, and other political agendas. ""The left is always trying to portray far right as a sub-class of the right, while the right usually try to distinguish themselves from far right"" - that is a POV opinion and shows a logical fallacy. The far right is of course a sub-class of the right - the far-right reactionaries in the French parliament led by Joseph de Maistre sat on the right side of the legislature alongside more moderate right-wing movements - that doesn't mean that they agree on everything of course. ""The left is always trying to portray"" - who stands for the left as a whole? I am centre-left and I do not see centre-right or moderate right parties as being close to the far-right - even though they are of the same genre, they are close to the centre with some right-wing attributes - which means they accept some degree of moderate left ideals (most likely equality of opportunity and that people should be considered born equal and have equality under the law), just as the centre-left has some degree of moderate right ideals (most likely that the pursuit of egalitarianism should be pursued orderly - through the rule of law - rejecting revolution as proposed by the far left; and that there are limits to egalitarianism - they likely view complete equality of outcome as extremely unlikely to achieve).
