Not "Has"the left" ever been wrong", but have social conservatives, ever, once, been right, in any country, about any issue, ever?

    I thought of another example. The German Peasant Revolt involved peasants revolting because the nobility and bourgeoisie were trying to reduce the peasants to serfs (being a peasant is better than being a serf). It It also involved a lot of other factors and was a political and religious clusterfuck (much like every other historical event in the Holy Roman Empire) so it's possible to interpret it differently. This is also what Martin Luther was talking about when he wrote "Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants", despite the peasants being (in some ways) inspired by the protestant reformation.
