In fact the main value disagreement that I can see is that some leftist tend to have a pathological form of egalitarianism where they're willing to pursue policies that make everyone worse off in order to make the distribution more equal.

A few examples? (Preferably ones where the conclusion that the policy leads to an anti-Pareto improvement is based on real-world data rather than on dry-water economic models.)
