Left-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3461 words)
	The Left generally favours government or social control over economics and the redistribution of wealth, and is against social hierarchy and authority over moral behaviour, strict adherence to tradition, monoculturalism, privilege for the wealthy, and other values commonly associated with the political right.
	Many Greens deny that green politics is "on the left"; nonetheless, their economic policies can generally be considered left-wing, and when they have formed political coalitions (most notably in Germany, but also in local governments elsewhere), it has almost always been with groups that would generally be classified as being on the left.
	The UK political coalition Respect, which grew out of the anti-war movement, argues that anti-war feeling is key to the growth of the Left, while leading members of the French left-wing group ATTAC claim that too much focus on the war would lead the Left away from focus on economic issues.
