MODERATORS
They're not particularly left wing, they just actually care about what happens to their citizens.
It's kind of sad that we've reached the point where everyone having a place to sleep at night and a modicum of dignity is considered to be a radically leftist idea
He didn't say scandies are radical. He said we're left wing. Which is subjective to what you're comparing to.
If you compare them to the US. Their right would be more left than the US left.
I mean caring about everyone is basically the definition of left-wing. So in my opinion this is a non-answer, OP basically did ask "why do people in Nordic countries care more what happens to their citizens?", which you didn't say anything about.
No they didn’t. You read way to much into what was actually asked.
i.e. care about all citizens equally
But maybe we should let OP say what they meant
Ordoliberalism and Christian Democracy are both clearly right wing ideologies and both defend basic social programs like universal healthcare.
