First off, it is important to point out that the left-right political scale is incomplete and as such it is false way of looking at the political spectrum. It contains only the economic part of the political spectrum. On the left side of this scale are those who want varying degrees of government control over the economy. Those include progressives, socialists, and communists at the far left. On the right side are those who want greater freedom of the country's economy. Those include conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists at the far right.

Libertarians want free markets and are opposed to any government involvement. So libertarians are right wingers in the economic sense.

But the full political spectrum is two-dimensional. So it is also important to mention the other scale which is the social scale, not addressed by the traditional left-right paradigm. This scale is usually presented vertically, up-down. Bottom end of this scale points towards less individual freedom and more government control over peoples' lives. This includes conservatives, socialists, and communists and fascists at its very bottom. The top end points to more individual freedom and less to zero government control over the lives of the people. This side includes progressives, libertarians, and anarchists at the very top.

So the conclusion is that libertarians are for maximum economic freedom and maximum personal freedom.
