Information AboutRadical Left |
|
During the 19th Century , the term "radical (left)" was used by Progressive Liberals to distance themselves from Classical Liberals , which explains why some Political Parties today considered to be center-left still have "radical" in their names. The term ''Radical Left'' also applies to the names of two Social-liberal parties, Det Radikale Venstre in Denmark (which translates into English literally as "radical left"), and the Left Radical Party in France . Although some Neoconservatives in the United States have used the word radical to describe elements of the Democratic Party , this is a Malapropism as not even the more "extreme" elements of the party approach the meaning of "Radical Left" in other countries. |
