I’m one of those leftists. Or rather socialists if we are going to get theoretical about it.

I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Socialists and liberals even share values. Where we break is not on indiviual morality. It is on principles of universial equality. But most importantly socialists see structural causes for inequality. And collective action as the only way out of it.

While worldview have a tendency to govern individual action, so does socio-economic situation and background and a lot of lesser factors.

Ideology or even organisation doesn’t make individuals act less shitty, hopefully esducation does.

Don’t be fooled by the party names. You have to look at the policies and consequences. Danes like to feel progressive, have left leaning stuff like free education and totalitarian measures against stuff they fear. The social democratic party remained in power after Germany moved troops into Denmark in 1940. It should tell you a lot.
