Abstract
Eurosceptics of all kind feel vindicated by the Brexit. However, their reasons do not only differ, they are actually inconsistent: For leftists like the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras the vote expresses the failure of a socially unjust political order devoted to austerity and market liberalism. Considering the anti-regulatory bias of the Leave campaign and the strict austerity policy of the newly re-elected conservative majority, this seems like a rather paternalistic interpretation. Many on the left-wingers refuse to accept that there are democratic majorities for inequality. They prefer to treat the voters as the victims of a wrong consciousness instilled by politics or the media.
