Social democracy's politics project directly onto individual citizens, creating a moral trap:
The moral side of RW is deathly afraid of saying "no" to left's pet projects like welfare because "an individual would be directly hurt".

The other option: inter-tribal politics of a republic, where politics project onto tribes - and in turn the tribes run their affairs to their own morals.
This fixes the moral trap problem, because a change in policy doesn't hurt a person - instead, *tribes* shift internally.
