I didn't actually mean to discuss what's normal and what's skewed, and much less what's better or what's worse, but just to state a quite objective fact (that even the rightmost parties in Europe are to the left of American mainstream left) without sparking controversy. But I'll bite. The Japan example is true (although they do have serious social issues), but the fact is that European countries utterly dominate most list of the best places to live. See for example http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/best-countries-to-live-in/ http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/best-countries-to... https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/quality-of-life-rankings https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/quality-of-life-r... https://ceoworld.biz/2019/04/11/best-quality-of-life-2019/ https://ceoworld.biz/2019/04/11/best-quality-of-life-2019/ where most of the countries in the top ten are European, with special predominance of particularly leftist countries like the Nordic countries. And at least the first two are American sources (not sure about the location of the third one).
