The "lefty worldview" is a combination of Marxism with a bunch of derived socialist and generally anti-establishment ideologies as espoused by such notable lefties as Lenin, Stalin and Chairman Mao, as well as whatever lesser notables are prefered (Castro, Guevara, Chavez or whatever other 'revolutionaries').

Clearly, the "lefties" you're thinking about are not the ones whose world view I share, nor--I suspect--most progressives or social democrats.
Also lumping Chavez with Castro and Guevara is a disingenuous. Chavez like President Bush was elected. Except that Chavez's election was an honest one in which all the ballots were counted.
