The Rainbow Statsi would be more apt.

The difference between left-wing moralists and right-wing moralists is that the former enforces behaviors and values that lead to societal decay, while the latter enforces behaviors and values that keep society functional and moral and intact.

@jon-erich9752 What would be considered right-wing moralism today is what kept Western civilization functional, cohesive, and strong for centuries. Within 60 years, social liberalism and cultural Marxism have putrefied our civilization from the inside and out, and now the tenets of those ideologies are being enforced through leftist political correctness (left-wing moralism). Moralism can always be taken to an extreme, but leftist moralism is basically the moral enforcement of values, behaviors, policies and lifestyles that lead to our civilizational destruction, whereas right-wing moralism is the moral enforcement of values, behaviors, policies and lifestyles that lead to the opposite. So how can you possibly argue that "they both lead to the same conclusion?"

@jon-erich9752 Classical liberalism is not social liberalism. The latter exists as the main guiding political ideology for two centuries with conservative traditionalism as its social counterpart. The modern social liberalism of the 1960s began to infect and destroy that which made a classically liberal society possible in the first place: traditional social values. What would be considered right-wing moralism today is really what has led to the success of all great human civilizations throughout history: traditional moral values. For example, the family unit is the building block of the community, the community is the building block of the nation, the nation is the building block of the civilization. Ergo, the family unit is the building block of civilizations. Without the nuclear family, the civilization implodes, which is why the Left tries to undermine traditional moral values at every turn. The traditional social values espoused by the Right is what kept this civilization united and functional, and what little of it remains is really the only thing that continues to do so. You point to extreme examples of religious zealotry, mass hysteria and moral panic because you refuse to see the forest for the trees.

@jon-erich9752 You're using extreme examples of moral puritanism and theocratic overreach to try to discredit the entire notion that traditional societal mores are positive and should be culturally and legally encouraged. The government in a secular nation creates and enforces laws which are reflective of the society's morals. Therefore, they already "dictate what is moral and what is not" in many ways. When the morality of a society is deliberately being undermined and is decaying as a result, the last thing that society needs is for the government to encourage and expedite that moral decay. That will only lead to that societal decay becoming that much more difficult or impossible to reverse. That said, I agree that the government should largely stay out of people's personal lives, but they should also not encourage or deliberately normalize values, behaviors, policies and lifestyles that are objectively destructive and lead to likely undesirable and unsustainable societal outcomes. Traditional morality should obviously be the goal, as it tends to produce the most optimal societal outcomes. It's difficult enough to fight the relentless moral subversion of our infiltrated cultural institutions. The last thing we need is government undermining the very values that serve to preserve and strengthen the fabric of our society. The goal of cultural Marxism is to undermine and destroy Western civilization by undermining and destroying traditional Western culture and values. Therefore, left-wing moralism attempts to induce shame and guilt in Westerners who resist the degeneration and destruction of themselves and society. Right-wing moralism attempts to induce shame and guilt in those who want to degenerate and destroy themselves and society. That is the difference.
