| | 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 |
| | 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. | | | The left intellectuals realized that the conflict between social democracy and communism was one of the main sources of weakness of the left and appealed in countless proclamations and manifestoes for left-wing unity. | | | 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). |

| | The nobility, members of the Second Estate, generally sat to the right. | | | In politics, left-wing, the political left or simply The Left are terms that refer to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of socialism or Social Democracy/Democratic Socialist and Social liberalism, and defined in contradistinction to its polar opposite, the right-wing. | | | Many Greens deny that green politics is "on the left"; nonetheless, their economic policies can generally be considered left-wing, and when they have formed political coalitions (most notably in Germany, but also in local governments elsewhere), it has almost always been with groups that would generally be classified as being on the left. |

| | "Left-Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder |
| | This proletarian wing has already proposed -- at the Leipzig (1919) Congress of the Independents -- immediate and unconditional affiliation to the Third International. | | | To fear this "reactionariness," to, try to avoid it, to leap over it, would be the greatest folly, for it would be fearing that function of the proletarian vanguard which consists in training, educating, enlightening and drawing into the new life the most backward strata and masses of the working class and the peasantry. | | | 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. |

| | 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." |
