The only way the government intervenes in the economy is by recognizing the workers' right to own the means of production. So, if the workers in a factory decide to take it over, the former "owner" has no legal recourse.
Other than that, most Right Wing Capitalist nations have more regulation of the economy than we do.

In capitalist economics there is no "workers' right to own the means of production".
So yes, your country is left wing, in a real capitalist economy the state wouldn't intervene in the economy at all.

I know we're left wing and we're definitely not capitalist. I'm just saying that we have less regulation than most right-wingers and capitalists.

I'm having trouble placing my nation into one of those categories even with the descriptions provided.
What would you say, an absolute monarchy with good civil freedoms but no political freedoms who pretty generally only interposes itself in people's lives when the matter has a significant effect on the group as opposed to the individual, for the most part free trade as well but not opposed to kicking a company off its high horse?

Yea, this was a problem when creating the poll because I am limited to 10 options max.
I am also not sugesting that each nation fits into the description, I would sugest that people vote for the option that they have the biggest resemblance to.
EDIT:I'm having trouble placing my nation into one of those categories even with the descriptions provided.

An obvious example would be prohibitions of any kind, especially drugs, which is a sizeable sector of many economies. Any kind of War on Drugs would be interference in the economy. Social authoritarianism often gets in the way of economic freedom.

Altough I would say that is more an authoritarian issue then a right wing issue.
As it focusses on personal freedoms.
I would say legalisation of drugs is libertarian/liberal and prohibitation of the use of drugs is authoritarian.
