Borges may have been a conservative, but it never shows in his writing. I would not call him right-wing at all, but conservative. He was a man of the early-mid-20th century. Who knows if his views today would be the same. Society in general is more progressive now than during his lifetime. A reason not to call Borges right-wing is his strong opposition to the Mussolini-admirer colonel who was one of the prominent members of the coup of '43, later president, and later a guest of Franco. For being against this fascist, Borges was fired from his position as director of the National Library, and relegated to being an inspector of fowl and cage animals in municipal markets.
