Taken with a salt mine as per my personal moral obligation to skepticism. Here in the United States, it seems like the 'right-wing' parties do more, less responsibly, than the 'left-wing' supposed pseudo-socialists... Assume a!=a 17:59, 30 December 2007 (EST)

Quite vague really.[edit]

Let's forget the "support my position" aspect of this essay. What you really do is fail to outline what defines a left wing party that conforms to your ideals. I mean leaving that as an exercise to the reader might be okay, except you assert it as a universal moral imperative: always vote left-wing. If it's subjective, then how do you know it's absolutely right? Was the communist party under Mao or Stalin left-wing? Was it authoritarian without being left-wing? What about American democrats?

A failure to define the goal of a moral system is the first step to confusing the correct actions to take within that system. Ikanreed (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, well, I saw the vandalism, and then had an opinion. Oops. Ikanreed (talk) 14:56, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
