        The interesting question is how one defines right wing. Borges idolized Chesterton, but agreed with him on neither theology nor economics. Yet Chesterton is beloved by many on the right. These things can be complicated.

        Wasn't Dostoevsky a socialist for part of his life at least?

        I wonder if there is a difference between what was considered right wing in these writers' days and what is right wing today.

        I don't get it. Why is the person saying Shakespeare was right-wing? How is he right-wing? I feel dumb.

        People imprint themselves on Shakespeare. Nobody has any idea what his politics were.
