"What do you define as socially left?"
First,imo,it's not possible to separate left wing [or right] wing into social and political.The political system determines the economic system and levels of social justice. (Marxism 101)
'Liberatianism' is a right wing ideology,with an emphasis on individual freedom, laissez faire capitalism and the principle of user pays.It includes the absurd notion of the "trickle own theory" of the distribution of wealth and social justice. Libertarianism is essentially bourgeois,selfish and self indulgent,the antithesis of a left wing ideology.

Quote:In politics, left-wing, political left, leftist and the Left are terms used to describe support for changing traditional social orders and creating a more egalitarian distribution of wealth and privilege. The phrase left-wing was coined during the French Revolution, referring to the seating arrangement in parliament; those who sat on the left supported the republic, the popular political movements and secularization.[1][2]

Quote:In politics, right-wing, political right, rightist and the Right are terms used to describe support for preserving traditional or cultural values and customs and maintaining some form of social hierarchy.[1][2][3] The phrase right-wing was coined during the French Revolution, when right-wing referred to seating arrangements in parliament; those who sat on the right supported the monarchy, the aristocracy and the established church.[4][5][6][7]

Quote:According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
Libertarians are committed to the belief that individuals, and not states or groups of any other kind, are both ontologically and normatively primary; that individuals have rights against certain kinds of forcible interference on the part of others; that liberty, understood as non-interference, is the only thing that can be legitimately demanded of others as a matter of legal or political right; that robust property rights and the economic liberty that follows from their consistent recognition are of central importance in respecting individual liberty; that social order is not at odds with but develops out of individual liberty; that the only proper use of coercion is defensive or to rectify an error; that governments are bound by essentially the same moral principles as individuals; and that most existing and historical governments have acted improperly insofar as they have utilized coercion for plunder, aggression, redistribution, and other purposes beyond the protection of individual liberty.
