==Definition==
:Here it is written that leftist "''usually imply challenging the traditional system of a society, by people who believe their economic interests, or personal values, or political rights are not supported by the traditional ruling institutions.''" What about people in a country such as France with a highly regulated economy challenging this on the grounds that it doesn't ''support'' their ''economic interests, or personal values''.
