Give us a clue what that means, Steve.

Yes, there's a humanitarian tradition that fits well with the socialist analysis, but my point was, the fact that it's been particularly associated with the left and centre rather than more right-wing analyses in our corner of the world is contingent. There's nothing inevitable about it. Economic conservatives can hold all kinds of liberal views, and still remain profoundly conservative (though that's not the right word really - very few of them appear to have the distrust of change in Society that the term implies when it comes to changes that damage the lives of poor people).

But even when formally sharing the same liberal values, these get applied in a different way. Conservative feminists will focus on the fact that there aren't many top executives who are women, socialist feminists will have the plight of cleaners and call centre workers and single mothers as their focus.

It's this focus on economic issues, and the appetite for equality that defines socialism, not the liberal values that can be shared at some level across the political spectrum.
