If I was feeling snippy, I'd point out that these programs really got underway while liberals were in government in most countries. But look, breaking it down into political groups just leads to both groups throwing buns at each other pointing out which is more repressive and worse than the other and that doesn't get anybody anywhere.

The problem is authoritarianism versus liberalism, and pretty much all politicians are massively authoritarian or else they wouldn't be trying to persuade people to elect them as their rulers for a few years.
