The one area I see them diverged from the majority of leftist on is internationalism. But that is about it. Otherwise they are very left with their thoughts on government intervention into markets, property rights, and generally a 'positivist' outlook where everything must, and can only be granted by, government.

What about traditional values and cultural unity?

They chuck a lot of traditionalism for various reasons,

Abortion, they are for because of its impact to minority populations when used as birth control. They are overwhelmingly pro eugenics, and pro human euthanasia to limit any impact the physically or mentally deficient would have to society. They are anti-religion to a large degree.

As for cultural unity, they seem to follow the German National Socialist thinking of cultivating a mythical traditionalism, some 'never was' dream ideal from a past that never happened. And in turn giving society that instead of actually traditionalism built up on generations. Also I think with the popularity of neo-technoism there, many in fact reject traditionalism outright, viewing it as impossible to even maintain in a world changing as fast economically, and hence politically, as we have now. Traditionalism in that sense is little more than an emotional appeal, an utopianist fantasy.
