I agree. I'm just saying that the majority of people who subscribe to either ideology are doing so because they think that ideology represents the morally right social framework.
If there's one book I've read in the past five years that was influential on me politically and that I'd recommend to literally everyone, it's Jon Haidt's "The Righteous Mind". Does an excellent job of dealing with these tendencies.
