In Western Europe the left/right wing axis is generally considered the economic axis, with socialists on the left, and economic liberals on the right.

Not exactly. In France the Front National is usually recognized as the most right-wing party, but LREM are way more economically liberal than them, and are considered center/center right. This is why using "right-wing" or "left-wing" is often useless and serves only to create more division.
