Can anyone explain left wing politics to me?

Answer 1

I assume you're a younger person, I'll try to put it into that kind of perspective:

Let's say you get straight A's in school because you study hard, do your homework, etc. Your best friend gets C's because she hangs out at the mall, goes to parties, doesn't study, etc.

Left wing politics MANDATES that you give part of your grade to your friend. You'd both end up with B's because that's only fair, even though you've done all the work.

Answer 2

Right wing is the kid who listens to the teacher, does his homework every night and values good manners and knows what he wants out of life and works through obstacles to get it.
Will probably have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex, open a savings account and drink once a week or less. Take their kids on holiday once a year, save up and buy and own their own house one day. Cry behind closed doors and smile in public for the most part. Probably get married before having children. Children will probably be taught to say please and thank you and be the same race as the parents.

Left wing is the defensive, lazy, cool kid who messes about in class, expects to get life for free and wins the respect of other dossers by proclaiming his selflessness for being left wing when not really understanding anything at all or being particularly philanthropic. Will probably never accomplish much, probably won t get a degree, probably never got smacked as a child and whines about trivial rubbish and hangs out with similar people. This includes people with facial piercings and gays and homeless people, people who dye their hair blue and get tattoos. This is the Left wing.

Answer 3

Yes if you own anything at all,the left want to 1 tax you on it, or 2 take it ................ Their views and Ideas are in "lar lar" land.They are a bit lost, of late, because it has been shown these Ideas,don't work,ie look what happened with Communism in Russia.A good book to read is Animal farm,G. Orwell. So now they have all jumped on the green band wagon.Just as right wing ideas are unfair, so are left.Liberals tend to be limp and pathetic,in every thing they do! Hope this has cleared up politics for you.....

Answer 4

Political spectrums vary. One could say, historically, that all governments—democracy, fascism, communism—inhabit the "left" while anarchy or a lack of control rests on the "right."

However there is no real objective definition for democrat, republican, liberal or conservative. Most "real" Democrats and Republicans, for example, do not necessarily reside on one particular side of the divide; they move in divergent directions on assorted issues.

Under a system of seemingly opposing values and party loyalty, the political pendulum swings back and forth, but the fundamental direction in which our country is moving never varies by more than a degree or two.In this manner, people are polarized into opposing groups that offset each other and the status quo is maintained.

Answer 5

Left wing politics are generally cast as representing the interests of the lower classes, or social liberalism, originally against the noble classes, later against the bourgeois and capitalist classes that superseded with the decline of feudalism.

Answer 6

Government programs paid for with taxes from hard working Americans. It's very hard to explain.

Answer 7

left wing politics is socialist/communist. It can be extreme revolutionary or very mild as in the labour party in the UK or the Democrats in US and a lot of shades in between.

Answer 8

Well here goes. We will tax the heck out of you and them spend that money on entitlements so we can get re-elected, was love power. We want government run by us, the bigger the better. We know what is best for all, in the name of socialism. No personal responsibility allowed.

Answer 9

Answer 10

First, and this is what separates us from the right-wingers, we have hearts, not the bleeding kind but real live care-for-your-fellow-man kind of heart.
