In which world is the FDP socially left? They're the rich man's party. Economically right/liberal, socially right, believing in capitalism.

Socially left = they are pro LGBT, generally supportive of minorities, pro vaccine, pro abortion, don't care about religion etc and on many similar issues. They are in a coalition with SDP. Social democrats also believe in capitalism (with caveats) yet they are considered left. I don't get what you disagree with
