"Traditional" left meaning what? Communism? Socialism? Democrats?

Comment author: lmm 16 September 2014 10:01:24PM 7 points [-]

Traditional as in not the radical left or any post-neocon positions. Socialism. Approximately the position of the leftmost of the two biggest political parties in a typical western-european country.

In the typical Western-European country, the leftmost of the two parties has abandoned Socialism and instead espouses the politics of Social Democracy or the Third Way.
