	left-wing politics - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		In politics, left-wing, political left, leftism, or simply the left, are terms that refer (with no particular precision) to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of socialism, social democracy, or liberalism (especially in the American sense of the word), or with opposition to right-wing politics.
		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.
		Some critics of the left also suggest that deconstructionism is not the only Nietzschean element in contemporary leftism, pointing to older, mistaken interpretations of Nietzsche as the font of moral relativism and the "God is dead" philosophy, both of which they see as characterizing the perceived nihilism of modern leftist politics.

	Denmark, Social Liberal or Radical Left (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Social Liberal or Radical Left Party was one of the original parties in Janda's 1950-1962 ICPP study.
		The party continued throughout 1950-1990 in the Harmel-Janda study of party change in Denmark, Germany, the U.K. and U.S. The essay on party politics in Denmark from 1950 to 1962 says:
		One of the four old parties, the RV's support remained around the five percent plateau after the original ICPP period, with the notable exception of the 15 percent it won in 1968 and held through 1973.

	Left Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Union Civica Radical / Radical Civic Union - a party that emerged at the end of the 19th century and gained popularity and political power with President Yrigoyen in 1916 as the expression of the political emergence of the middle class.
		Parties in opposition to Peronism institutionalized the phrase ‘cabecita negra’ (Blackheads) referring to supporters of Peronism, mostly dark-skinned compared to the more white or light-skinned members of the middle class and the bourgeosie at the time.
		Its supporters, however, mostly middle class democrats and former members of left wing guerrilla formations from the 70s, were demoralized by the confused politics of the PI which failed to consistently oppose the immunity granted to the military and the inconsistent nationalist policies of the UCR government.

	The World Social Forum
		But the mainstream left did not mobilize; nor did the CPI(ML) Liberation, which claims to be the real pole for an alternative left but which in fact is shifting simply to occupy the left reformist spot vacated by the CPI(M) as it becomes a servant of capitalist neoliberalism.
		For the mainstream left, ensconced in power for over a quarter of century in the province of West Bengal, it is not capitalist globalization per se that is bad, but the effort by imperialism to corner the gains of this globalization.
		That radical left might prove to be a hybrid left-centrist current, if we use a now not very much understood jargon, which means forces straddling revolutionary socialist and reformist politics, taking one step left and the next one right.

	LENIN'S TOMB: Red Light, Green Light.
		Respect was trumpeted as the spearhead of the radical left's revival.
		That is a peculiar claim from a man who has recently joined a party which refuses, point blank, to cooperate electorally with others on the basis of their own ideological purity and projected success.
		The idea, however, that the Greens are the truly radical alternative to mainstream social-democratic parties has been put to the test and disproven with equal force across Europe, wherever the Greens have enjoyed success.

		These parties sometimes came to the conclusion, sometimes privately expressed, that the country was not in total crisis and therefore was looking for change within the established order; that the country was not "ready" for them.
		The truth is that the left radical parties, rightly, did not want to be ready for the country by becoming establishment parties, or by joining the establishment.

	Can the Labour Party be re-claimed?
		This was a capitalist party at the top, whose leadership had at least one foot in the camp of the ruling class — they were not prepared to break from capitalism — but with a working class and increasingly socialist base, particularly after the October 1917 Russian revolution.
		Similarly, although on a smaller scale, MAPU, a small left radical party which was in a front with the workers’ parties, the Communist and Socialist parties in Chile, evolved from a split from the Christian Democratic Party.
		Despite the seemingly radical stance of the trade union leaders, most of them still standing on the right, they are moving in the opposite direction to their own members.

	ADL REPORT ON `REINCARNATED' NEW ALLIANCE PARTY:
		A Cult By Any Other Name: The New Alliance Party Dismantled and Reincarnated describes how NAP, which had long claimed to be a champion of the poor and minority communities, announced it was dissolving itself to join forces with the largely white, middle-class, politically-centrist Patriot Party.
		Historically, the 15-year-old New Alliance Party has promoted itself as "Black-led, multi-racial, pro-socialist, pro-gay." Dr. Fred Newman is the party's chief strategist, and works primarily behind the scenes.
		At a convention in April 1994, when independent Perot-type parties from across the country joined to form the National Patriot Party, NAP's influence on the gathering was substantial.

	I. Wallerstein, "A French Earthquake"
		The least well-known of them, Christiane Taubira, from the tiny Left Radical party, who ran only in order to establish the principle that someone from the overseas departments could run, got 2.32% of the vote.
		He ran his 1995 presidential and 1997 legislative elections on a left rhetoric (forcing the conservative parties leftward to the center), and this clearly appealed.
		It's time for the world's so-called left to reassess not only where the world is heading, but even electoral strategy, not to speak of political strategy overall.

		Clearly, Marshall was thinking about the good of the Democratic Party, and not the integrity of his grimy little network of missile-humping cronies, when he and Al From made the curious—and curiously conspicuous—decision to denounce Moore, Hollywood and France at the DLC meeting in early November.
		Radical left being the heirs of the utopian revolutionaries, the French revolution and Marxism.
		The toxic segment of the party represented by Moore and Soros is bolstered and empowered by being given a seat at the table, and THAT is dangerous for everybody.

	GERMANY: Left Party vote may force neoliberal ‘grand coalition'
		Left Party leader Lother Bisky and WASG secretary Klaus Ernst have announced that they plan to fast track the fusion of the WASG and Left Party.
		The importance of the WASG for the German left is its influence and work in the western part of the country, where the PDS — formed by the pro-socialist members of the former Socialist Unity Party (SED), the ruling Stalinist party in East Germany — never really got a foothold.
		While some in the Left Party favour entering a federal coalition government as the junior partner of the Social Democrats, under pressure from the WASG the Left Party leadership has announced that it won't support another Schroeder-led government or his neoliberal Agenda 2010.

	1994 European Parliament Elections
		In party political terms, the general picture emerging in the elections of June 1994 is one of consolidation of the Party of European Socialists (PES) as the largest group in the Parliament leading the left, and of fragmentation of the right and center-right.
		The same left parties, notably communists, former communists or other left parties, held their own, and in the new European Parliament formed a single political group called the "Confederal United European Left" with 28 members of the former "Left Coalition" (largely orthodox communists) and of other reformist left parties.
		The Liberals lost all their German members in the elections, as the Free Democrat Party failed to pass the 5% barrier and obtained fewer votes than the PDS (the former East German Communists).

		In the municipal elections in eastern Berlin in the spring of 1992, the most successful grouping was the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), formed on the basis of the former Socialist Unity Party of Germany.
		The PDS proclaimed itself a radical left party; rejecting the ideology of the communists, it did not accept the mild reformism of the social democrats either.
		BrazauskasÕs party now has to show whether it is capable of forming parliamentary coalitions and of arriving at compromises with other political forces, without at the same time renouncing its own principles.

		Having won the presidential election, Chirac named Jean-Pierre Raffarin, vice president of the Liberal Democracy party, who is known for his down-to-earth style as prime minister of the transitional government, and hopes to win the hearts and votes of the French people with concrete action.
		Although the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, the Green Party and radical left party leaders tried to make a comeback by winning a majority in the National Assembly and continue power- sharing "cohabitation," many leftists felt stuck in a dilemma.
		Now that the presidential and parliamentary elections in France have ended with a right win, French voters are turning their eyes on the new leaders and the new government, keen to know how they deal with the problems facing France today.

	ITALY: Communist Party adopts radical left turn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It has drawn into its ranks nearly all the former organisations of the Italian radical left, it twice dumped MPs who refused to vote against the neo-liberal policies of “centre-left” governments, and most recently plunged into building the movements against neo-liberal globalisation and the Thatcherite policies of the Italian government of media billionaire Silvio Berlusconi.
		There is no doubt as to the radicality of the turn and the urgency of the political message.
		Congress delegates were faced with two documents, a majority position which had won the support of 87.3% of party members in pre-congress voting and a minority position, led by Marco Ferrando (dubbed “the Trotskyist opposition” by the media), which had won 12.7% support.

		For its part, the Socialist Party signed agreements with the Greens and the Communist Party (PC) to put forward joint candidatures in electoral districts where the threat of the far right would have eliminated the left if it had fielded several rival candidatures in the first round.
		As political analysts saw it, the Greens and the PC were victims of tactical voting for the Socialist Party to avoid what voters feared, namely a repeat performance of the first round of the presidential elections.
		The first round of the legislative elections was marked by a clear setback for far left and far right parties.

		Indeed, the signs are that Argentines are as angry and apathetic about party politics as they have been since the return of democracy in 1983.
		In the city of Buenos Aires, where party loyalties are weaker, 40 per cent of voters say they intend to abstain or spoil their ballots.
		But neither party is likely to be celebrating too ostentatiously on October 15 if forecasts of the number of abstentions come true.
