Pro-Market is the essence of the right wing today, the most-commonly-held view among Republicans and other right wingers. The nationalists and theocrats are also generally right-wing today, and since statism is repressive, I would call that generally right-wing too.
Maybe there is more diversity of ideas on the right?
Pro-market liberalism can be left-wing as well, e.g. Thomas Jefferson or Bill Clinton. Mises criticised traditional societies quite readily, and supported capitalism because it's more conducive to progress than socialism.
Securitarians can lean towards the working-class left sectors, as do Kim Jong Un and Xi Jin Ping who have a communist background and still appeal to some communist ideas.
Leftist ethos of care can be as repressive as rightist ethos of justice or sanctity. The only non-repressive systems are anarchist ones.
