    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.

        Left-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism

        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.
