It's more a matter of family values, including religious values, than political systems, and nowadays the socialists are using the materialism and entitlement mentality to approach to some lazy fools who still get caught by their "revolutionary" speech, and I see it currently in Brazil and some neighboring countries such as Venezuela. I can't really see any advantage in the left wing anyway...
