The flaw in your analysis comes from the ideology definition and confusion of means and purpose.
France for example may seem right-wing to you because it actively introduces values into society (social solidarity, concept of womanhood, and freedom from religion for example) but those are natural derivates of a strong state.
Fichte was the first to define a strong state and since the concept has been used for both progressism and conservatism. Just as a small state (US) is compatible with both conservatists and progressive policies.
And if a strong state may seem authoritarian to you it is because, again, there is a confusion. A legitimate government, which properly represents the majority while respecting the minorities, is the opposite of authoritarian.

Which is about the exact opposite of your home country. Lets not even begin with the Roma stuff, even though the EU is supposed to allow free movement of peoples.
Also, that you see nothing wrong with sexism and targeting religions for opression more or less makes my point for me.
Concept of womanhood. Christ.
A lot of Frances social polcies are essentially ultra right wing republicans wet dreams.
Oh yeah, reminds me of another funny right vs left wing thing.
Despite there being far more opposition to abortion in the US. It's a lot easier to get an abortion... and for a longer period of time then most of Europe.

I am very interested in how you perceive the sexism and the Roma "issues". But then again, I bet you don't have many clear arguments, if we are talking of state policies France is pretty much the opposite of conservatist.
