Changes

The '''Old Left''' was a group of liberals that dominated US politics during the [[Fifth Party System]] and preceded the [[New Left]] of the [[Sixth Party System]]. Leading Old Left figures include [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], [[Harry S. Truman]], and [[Lyndon Baines Johnson]]. They were fiscally progressive, supported the [[welfare state]], and were more likely to support less restrictions on immigration than the [[Old Right]], their rivals of the day. Unlike the New Left, however, they endorsed [[interventionism]] and [[free trade]], both of which are [[neoliberal]] policies. This lead to some, known as [[neoconservatives]], joining the [[Republican Party]] during the 1960s and supporting the [[Vietnam War]].
