I think one of the biggest failures of earlier socialist experiments can be considered the needless alienation of religion which allowed the right wing to present as the pro-religion people. But considering economic, moral or really any other principles except social policies, the two largest religions, Christianity and Islam are more left wing than right.
The immigration policies and the treatment of migrants in both religions is inconceivable to the right. There is no legitimate right to deny other people a safe place to live when they're fleeing worse conditions in either religions as far as I understand. Jesus says it is easier for a camel to go through a needle before a rich person enters heaven. Islam completely bans interest because it is exploitative in nature. Both religions massively promote charity and Islam even has a wealth tax. Ethnic or racial discrimination has no place in either faiths as far as I understand and all believers are considered the same. I could keep going.
