How true is the following...?
The left vs right dichotomy is very simple:
If you believe in deontological ethics and free will, then you're libertarian right
If you believe in consequentialism and determinism, then you're authortarian left

I don't think determinism/free will has any relation. Could you explain why you think it is related?

Not true at all.
The left right-dichotomy comes from the French revolution. Those on the left supported more egalitarian policies (e.g. constitution, equal rights etc), those on the right were more in favor of hierarchy.
This is why centrist left supported stuff like a constitutional monarchy, regular to far left supported the abolition of monarchy and those on the ultra left (i.e. left of Robespierre) were proto-communists who also opposed the inequality and hierarchy brought about by private property.

It's simpler than that.
If you believe in the status quo, the establishment, the patriarchy, whatever, above your personal and family needs, you're right wing.
If you believe in your personal and family needs above the status quo, the establishment, the patriarchy, whatever, you're left wing.

Right and left: king and country, respectively.

Some people think real free will is the freedom to choose something you wouldn't choose.
