Can One Be Economically Left and Culturally Conservative?

What difference is there between socialism and “crazy left wing”?

Well to give you an example, Stealth probably doesn’t like them too much, but traditional Commies were often quite conservative on a lot of cultural stuff. Prostitution and drug use were illegal and degenerate Western music was banned. Homosexuality was frowned upon to say the very least. At worst, it was considered to be a bourgeois indulgence.

So you see it is not so weird at all to be an Economic Leftie and a Cultural Conservative. There is a long tradition of this sort of thing.

Nominay again:

What is this fear of a lack of “normalcy” you have?
1950′s America? 1980′s America? The goalposts always change because times change.

Yeah! Moving the goalposts! The Cultural Left’s specialty!
