  Left-wing politics - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
The term is also often used to characterize the politics of the Soviet Union and other one-party "communist states", although many (perhaps most) on the political left (including many Marxists) would not consider their own politics to have anything significant in common with any of these states.
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.

 G.W.F. Hegel -- Social and Political Thought [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Finally, the constitution of the political state brings together in a unity the sense of the importance of the whole or universal good along with the freedom of particularity of individual pursuits and thus is "the end and actuality of both the substantial order and the public life devoted thereto" (¶ 157).
Hegel also says that the other two moments of the political constitution, the monarchy and the executive, are the first two moments of the legislature, i.e., are reflected in the legislature respectively through the ultimate decision regarding proposed laws and an advising function in their formation.
The history of Spirit is the development through time of its own self-consciousness through the actions of peoples, states, and world historical actors who, while absorbed in their own interests, are nonetheless the unconscious instruments of the work of Spirit.

Political parties originated in their modern form in Europe and the United States in the 19th century, along with the electoral and parliamentary systems, whose development reflects the evolution of parties.
The party discipline in voting established by the British parties--which were older because of the fact that the British Parliament was long established--was imitated on the Continent hardly at all.
United States political parties of the 19th century were not particularly different from European cadre parties, except that their confrontations were less violent and based less on ideology.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Knownothingism
The growing immigration and the increase in the number of naturalized citizens strengthened the party with which these immigrants had become identified, and the extension of their political influence, as shown at the elections, was used by the advocates of proscription as a justification of their policy.
Although the existence of the new party was generally known, and its political activities soon became manifest, all inquiries by outsiders respecting its organization and purpose, and especially as to the names of members, were met by those identified with the movement with the answer: "I don't know".
The American people had weighed the claims of the Knownothing party to be regarded as the saviours of the republic and had witnessed the criminal excesses to which that party had resorted in its efforts to secure political control, and the sober sense of the great mass of the people had repudiated both.

Otis was apparently the guiding spirit of the committees and the author of the report adopted by the convention on January 3, 1815.
It was the dark legacy of the Hartford Convention not only to taint ineradicably the Federalist Party with disloyalty and irrelevance, from which it died in 1820, but also to provide precedent and philosophy for future acts of defiance toward policies of the national government.

 Death of the Federalist Party by Richard Seltzer

The party was still strong at this time, and the survivors had every reason to believe that it would return to power in the near future.

First of all, Christians are not prepared to finance an independent political party; second, Christians generally haven't a clue how to organize and run a political party; and third, there aren't enough Christians either interested in or talented enough to successfully manage a third party, let alone get elected to office.
By reshaping the Republican party along consciously Christian lines, distancing ourselves from the extremism of the Democrats, and providing a true alternative to the mediocrity and duplicity of current politicians from both parties, we may appeal to that vast, under-represented (and currently uninterested and unregistered) electorate of the middle class.
