This quotation is attributed to Schlieffen, a German war planner before WW1. He designed the 'Schlieffen Plan', a large sweeping attack from Germany into France through Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg to attack Paris from the north, in 1905. This meant that the right wing of the attack would have to move quickly; otherwise the attack would fall apart and lead to a stalemate (trench warfare). The plan was to defeat France before Russia could mobilize, which would prevent Germany from fighting a two-front war. His successor Moltke modified the plan, but kept the general design intact. Schlieffen died in 1913, his last words supposedly, "Remember, keep the right wing strong."

What political party is right wing?

The primary political party in the United States associated with the "right-wing" is the Republican Party. In the UK, The National Front, is probably the most right wing of the political parties. In the United States, currently, the Republican party is the most conservative or right-wing. It should be noted that there are still some individual Republicans who would be considered moderate, but most scholars (including conservative scholars) have noted that the party as a whole has moved much more to the right in the past several decades. In many other countries, right-wing political parties can be a factor in politics; for example in France, the National Front has long been known for its harsh rhetoric and its strong anti-immigrant stands. While sometimes, extreme right-wing parties get some votes and provide an outlet for populist anger, such parties generally lack the support of the majority of people, appealing only to a small core group of followers.
