I don't know about what satoshi thought. I do however know that most of the folks talking about it in the spaces I was in were libertarian (in an american sense).
They were all about gold standards and hard money and auditing the fed as well.
Basically they were the Ron Paul folks.

The impression you get from Satoshi's writing and the people he associated with (e.g. Hal Finney) is that he seemed more left-leaning if anything.
There's a strong right-wing bent to the community NOW, I don't think there's any doubt of that, but to call its ROOTS "right" is unfounded
