| | I noticed "left-wing" redirects here. Do we have an article about left-right politics in general and not specifically extremists. For instance, yes, the extreme left is communism, socialism, and Marxism, but there is a moderate left consisting of most Democrats and some moderate progressives. And likewise, the extreme right is fascism, but there are Republicans, conservatives, some libertarians, etc. [[User:Gregkochuconn|Gregkochuconn]] 20:23, 13 February 2012 (EST) | | I noticed "left-wing" redirects here.

| | + | I remember reading a definition of leftism, and how it originated from the Book of Revelations, specifically the bit about Jesus turning people into goats if they did bad. I know it was on a website, and it dealt with the origin of the term during the French Revolution, and it dealt with some sort of book. I can't find it now. I do know that it had a paper-scape of I think a French castle, and the book had been written by a guy named David who apparently had been a fan of Woodrow Wilson's policies. That's all I have right now. If I can dig it out myself, I'll give the link, but otherwise, I'll have to let you find the source.
