the left: there's an american left but they are a fringe minority. anarchists, socialists, and so on. i'm not too happy with the foggy "liberal" term, but this seems to include a broad range of beliefs... including some "leftists".

these terms are so vague anyway, i think they are practically meaningless. since the collapse of the Big Left into a myriad issue-based groups, i'd rather stick to precise labels such as environmentalist trotskyite or stalinist feminazi, free-market st-simonian and what not.
