Terms like '''right wing''' and '''rightist''' before World War II indicated to the Fascist side of the political spectrum. Then the "left" meant Communists and most other socialists, while the "right" meant Nazis and Fascists.
In modern politics, the term '''right wing''' is used by [[liberals]] their attempt to make [[conservatives]] look extreme and unreasonable.
Example usage is, "He's a right-winger!" rather than simply, "He's [[conservative]]."
