“…In the modern political world, the debates between left and right anchored around the issue of inequality are reflected in the market-state divide, separated by those who favor social equality through government protection in terms of nationalization, redistribution, welfare policy, and those who believe it necessary to maintain incentives for the individual effort through market liberalization, encouraging competition and keeping taxes low (NOEL; THERIEN, 2008). The rise of post-materialism (INGLEHART, 1997) since the mid-twenty century had expanded people's attention from economic issues to the normative system, articulated in the form of social movements by women, ethnic communities, sexual minorities, and other social groups who demand recognition, respect, and equality (BOBBIO, 1996;MACIEL;ALARCON;GIMENES, 2018;NOEL;THERIEN, 2008;WIESEHOMEIER, 2010). Under these circumstances, leftists, usually self-identified as defenders of the weak, are more likely to embrace social inclusion policy such as the quota system and to support liberal policy in socio-cultural life such as same-sex marriage and abortion.…”
