Re: Left and right; what does it mean?
<In short, leftism is a democratic prerogative and doesn't belong to a tyrannical kind of governement.
Not sure what the point of this semantic exercise is. When radical "leftists" get in complete control of a government, they ARE communists, and usually eliminate every form of opposition.
To say that they are not "leftist" any more is a bit silly. The "leftists" and the "communists" share common philosophies, political ideas, and methods of governing, making them pretty much interchangable to a large degree.
