Not always. Since you mentioned the French Revolution, well the original Jacobins who are mischaracterized as a proto-Bolshevik party, were big on capitalism and \\\"liberty of market\\\". Robespierre described equality as a \\\"chimera\\\" and the Jacobins repressed hardcore proto-socialists and those who were left of them. The Jacobins believed in institutions and reforms even when they went in a radical left direction. They branded wealth redistribution as \\\"meritocracy\\\" platforms that ex-Jacobin, Napoleon would put in his dictatorship. The Radical Republicans of the American Civil War likewise saw their measures in similar lines (though obviously they didn\\\'t cite the Jacobins who had become discredited then), they were pro-capitalism, free-labour ideologues. The Jacobins nonetheless introduced universal male suffrage, equal rights for minorities, abolition of slavery, and government intervention to support businesses. So they were to the Left of the French National Convention, the American Founding Fathers and the British Parliament, and any royal government of Europe.

Socialism, Social Democrats and Social Liberals evolved in the 19th Century when a lot of the originally radical Jacobin positions became absorbed and co-opted by the classical liberals and even conservatives. After all the Jacobins introduced universal male suffrage, which Bismarck introduced from the top-down. Today\\\'s self-calling socialists and social democrats are generally to the right of their early 20th Century counterparts. Many of them adopt moderate and Third-Way policies. So there are huge shifts.
