- In my post a ways back I brought up the liberal and radical left question.
- It was not my intent to try to define one versus the other. My point
- was that in modern political thinking both terms are defined by the
- conservative to reactionary right. I really have no idea what a radical
- left stance would be on most subjects...other than, of course, what
- their opponents say it would be.
-
- I doubt that this news group would become a forum of discussion of liberal
- and radical left philosophy. Far more likely it would become one more
- outlet for conservative right flames and insults.
