I really think you have major misconceptions about social democrat ideology. Your 'ancestral sin' interpretation could easily be said on capitalists who don't have a problem with people capital fortune being decided mostly a birth. (You're born poor, you are likely to stay poor, you're born rich you're likely to stay rich no matter what you do). Or, You could also easily say that the Protestant morals equate physical wealth accumulation with how moral you are. Because if you do good by God, of you'll get rewarded with prosperoty. In your lifetime. This is of course nonsense just as your interpretation of social democrat ideology.

None of what you just said aligns with reality. Being born into wealth lends a significant chance of mismanagement and losing that wealth. Protestants - not the megachurches that go by the label 'protestant', but believe nothing remotely related to Scripture - have no such conception. Lastly, you're moving what I said, narrowing the scope to 'democratic socialists'.

  I don't believe your claims entirely really true: 1. It's very hard to lose wealth while in management. Networking and clique play a big part of the manager eco system. Plus, in the startup area, if you are an entrepreneur that his startup failed you are not considered a failure, far from it. It is also more likely for you to bean entrepreneur if yoy have a strong financial background. 2. This 'True Protestant Ideal' isn't relevant. This 'false Protestant' developed from a Protestant mindset, through a natural evolution of ideas. Plus, I think you'd find that a similar part of these so called 'True Protestant' make claims like those I made point with. 3. The only relevant left in the west, is social democratic. Maybe in the US less so, only Sanders could fit that description. But, I'm not from the US, so my default meaning of left is social democratic. Which left we're you speaking of?
