Real liberals, in defending the freedom of the individual, and considering that he is endowed with natural rights (to seek happiness, to have private property), defends these questions as well. And liberals - true ones - usually are considred center - center-right people. As I have written, not every single feminist or LGBT people is necessarily someone willing to break up with the class society, or agree with added value theory, historical materialism, value theory of labor. I have sure that feminists and lgbt people from middle classes are not the main treats to the actual economic status quo; instead, they just want more tolerance within the society.
But, to nationalise and collectivise the entire economy is a very far left thing. However, some non leftists dictators have nationalised some companies, like Getúlio Vargas in Brazil. Now, collectivize production, as Stalin did in creating the sovkhoses and kolkhoses, you will only find in far-left political regimes. Mao also did the same thing.
Today, the chinese government does consider the chinese multiethnic society as one of the biggest positive factors of chinese society and contry. In cities like Beijing, you cand find a lot of comunist party's slogans exalting - positively - the multi etnhic society. On the other hand, Kim family's regime does consider the ethnic homogeneity of the Korean population as a positive factor in the country's social cohesion. So, there is not a single rule that fits to all cases.
