The other day, a politician (probably Piquè) was interviewed on TV about the difference between left and right. He answered that right-wing people like better freedom, while leftists prefer equality.
The answer is not wrong. But it is not exhaustive.
Left-wing people may prefer equality, but generally want also freedom (at least, I hope so), whilst rightist ones do not mind about inequality, considering it as normal.
