An extreme political position that generally advocates for larger governments with broader intervention and increased taxes for the middle income to rich. Generally, advocates of all-inclusive welfare policies and social policies. Left wingers are protectionist with respect to trade policies and globalisation in general.
Jill: Was the russian experiments under Lenin and Stalin considered left wing because the government at the time disallowed freedom of speech and press?
Joe: Partly. The fact that all industry was nationalised, completely nullifying any private sector innovation contributed to the philosophy as well. The results were extreme poverty and loss of hope and motivation for the society at large.

A modern syndrome usually affecting people that have spent too many years being brainwashed not to think for themselves in college but as part of the brainwashing fully believe that they are thinking for themselves. Whenever they are arguing from their brainwashed point of view and they can't come up with an effective argument they immediately call the other protaganist a moron and continuously repeat the words, racist, homophobe and bigot over and over so that they can attract others with Left Wing Syndrome to join in to back them up.
Every day I see groups of Left Wing Syndrome sufferers ganging up on people on Facebook calling them names to combat other peoples logical, intelligent opinions that dont agree with their own.
