→Leftists = collective government?: new section
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.

== Leftists = collective government? ==
Hi.
The opening paragraph stated that Leftists tended to hold to collective government and promote government expansion. However, there are a few instances of leftists who if anything want to utterly get rid of any forms of government (in other words, advocating for Marxism), including Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Noam Chomsky, heck, even Karl Marx. Think we should reword that opening paragraph to make note of that? [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 07:16, 9 May 2017 (EDT)
