 Left-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equality, social justice, democracy, gender equality, civil rights, labor rights and trade unionism, governmental and social concern for the poor, working-class solidarity, secularism, tolerance, and internationalism are the values typically associated with the left wing of the political spectrum.
Nonetheless, an international anti-war movement began to arise; in the U.S. and other countries whose governments enacted legislation analogous to the USA PATRIOT Act, it was equally a movement in protest of what were perceived to be assaults on civil liberties and immigrant rights.
When the National Assembly first met, the reformers sat on the left side of the meeting hall, while supporters of monarchy and nobility sat on the right.

 Weimar - The left wing intellectuals
The left campaigned without notable success for penal reform, for the abolition of capital punishment and greater sexual freedom (they wanted to do away with paragraphs 175 and 218 of the penal code, dealing with homosexuality and abortion respectively).
It is unlikely that a French intellectual of the right would have claimed that he and his friends had a monopoly of esprit or fine prose.
They resented the survival of the old bureaucracy which had been taken over essentially intact, of a judiciary meting out blatantly biased political justice, a Reichswehr which, though small in number, constituted a sinister and powerful force.

 "Left-Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder
A gradual shift of the worker masses from the Mensheviks to the Bolsheviks was to be clearly observed in 1917: at the First All-Russian Congress of Soviets, held in June 1917, we had only 13 per cent of the votes; the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks had the majority.
This proletarian wing has already proposed -- at the Leipzig (1919) Congress of the Independents -- immediate and unconditional affiliation to the Third International.
This is a long process, and the hasty "decision" -- "No compromises, no manoeuvres" -- can only injure the work of strengthening the influence of the revolutionary proletariat and enlarging its forces.

 Right-Wing and Left-Wing Paranoia
Left Wing means opposition to private property and instead strong support for the government to take over and control everything (at least the major industries) in one big government monopoly.
Under such a system, people have to depend on one monopoly source (the political state) for the things they need.
I agree with Thomas Jefferson when he advised against trust and confidence in the men of government, but rather "bind them down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution."

 BBC NEWS Americas Left-wing Uruguay leader sworn in
Uruguay becomes the fifth Latin American nation to move to the left.
Mr Vazquez was sworn in for a five-year term in front of leaders including Brazil's Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Argentina's Nestor Kirchner.
The left has also rejected many policies which had scared off voters in the past, he says.

 Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)
Gerald Ford personally told members of his staff that John Paul Stevens was "a good Republican, and would vote like one." Justice Stevens has since become the leader of the court's liberal wing.
An upcoming biography of Sandra Day O'Connor by Supreme Court reporter Joan Biskupic includes correspondence from Ronald Reagan to conservative senators concerned about her scant paper trail.
Chief Justice Burger concurred in Roe, and made clear he didn't even understand what the court was deciding: "Plainly," he wrote, "the Court today rejects any claim that the Constitution requires abortions on demand."

 'Able Democrats, but left-wing all the way' - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics
On the day in July 2000 when Gov. Roy Barnes appointed me to try to fill the big shoes left behind by our friend, Sen. Paul Coverdell, a Republican, I pledged to serve all Georgians and no single party.
Then and there, I decided I would never attend another Democratic caucus lunch on Tums-days.
When Jim Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party in May 2001 and became an independent, it turned the Senate upside down and gave the Democrats a one-vote majority.

 Rich Lowry on Iraq & war on National Review Online
This is why polite opinion celebrates Colin Powell for wanting to partially lift sanctions on Iraq.
But his position is really what should be an unacceptable straddle for the Left.
This is why the case against a war against Saddam tends to be made in such a flabby way: Many doves probably don't really know why they oppose such a war.

 Left Wing Politics
And investigators in Congress and the New York State Attorney General's office have turned up e-mails confirming the long-held suspicion that analysts are pressured to write favorable reports about the companies they follow.
In trying to strike a blow for civil liberties, the circuit court widely viewed as the most liberal in the U.S. (and one of the two justices striking down the Pledge was a Nixon appointee!) may have just handed the right wing its biggest public-relations victory since the flag-burning decision more than a decade ago.
And it will likely give President Bush carte blanche to stack the federal bench with all the conservative judges he wants.

 The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy
Instead, the Presidents decided to use an African-American conservative pundit secretly and illegally on the payroll to procure black voters' support for the inaccurately-named "No Child Left Behind" program.
For four years Little King George refused to meet with African-American political leaders and groups; apparently Presidents Rove and Cheney thought it unnecessary to reach out to black voters directly in any meaningful way.
The "Salvadoran Option," named for the country where it was last employed -- with disastrous results -- would no doubt send what's left of Iraq over the edge, as nationalists who have different definitions of nationalism would be pitted against each other.

 Monthly Review June 2003 Robert W. McChesney and John Bellamy Foster
It is based almost exclusively upon what are called social issues, such as a commitment to gay rights, women’s rights, abortion rights, civil liberties, and affirmative action.
First, the right wing of the Republican Party, typified by Reagan and now Bush, has gained considerable political power while the Democratic Party has become significantly more pro-business in its outlook.
Traditionally, journalists have had some autonomy to carry out news investigations and raise questions—as long as they stayed within the legitimate spectrum of debate established by elite opinion.

This has definitely tainted American "public" schools allowing only one philosophical and political viewpoint to be heard.
The standard answer from the left regarding taxes is: "Don’t you want the roads and infrastructure that government provides?" The answer should be no. That is not supposed to be a function of government to provide goods and services.
And because of their ability to speak when most other Americans are silenced during the 60 days prior to elections, the influence of these Loony Left groups over policies of the Democratic Party will become more and more powerful."

President Bush's announcement today that he is nominating Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court drew a tepid response from RightMarch.com, a leading online conservative activist organization which had fought hard for the confirmation of John Roberts for Chief Justice.
They know that if they can "take him out," they can turn their sights on stopping every policy, every bill, every judicial nominee -- everything we want to see accomplished in Washington, D.C. -- DEAD in their tracks.
We've had it with these radicals on the Left and their "poster girl" Cindy Sheehan, who are just encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale with their antics.

 Left-Wing Lingo, Ideologies and History
Theory: The State as a relatively autonomous "contestable terrain" for the organized, self-conscious constituencies of the working class, through an open, inclusive political party (a left Democratic Party or third party) and a radical labor movement.
Praxis: The moderate, or less utopian, wings of democratic socialist and social democratic groups.
Today radical democracy is embodied in many political movements, but is perhaps most self-consciously acknowledged in the Citizen Action movement, the post-Marxist wings of DSA, and the Committees of Correspondence.
