No. Right wing politics is 100% about "personal liberty"... for them.

It is the problem with trying to implement theoretical socioeconomic and political models in reality. Because WE can all agree "nobody should be enslaved". But... who actually WANTS to dive into the sewers to break up the fatbergs?

Because personal liberties inherently conflict. You want to be free to let your dog roam wherever he wants. I want to be free to let my cat out on her catio without fear of neighbor dogs attacking her. Which of us get our personal liberty respected? And so forth in terms of religion and speech and choice of labor and so forth.
