Re: Left and right; what does it mean?
And why are they called leftist????
Because they sit on the left side of the hemicycle in the parliament, as seen from its president.
This can only be the case in democracies.
In non democratic countries, there is no difference in thinking on either side of the hemicycle, because only one thought is allowed; there is no left or right, just one way of thinking.
