Left-Wing Quotes

Left-wing politicians take away your liberty in the name of children and of fighting poverty, while right-wing politicians do it in the name of family values and fighting drugs. Either way, government gets bigger and you become less free. Harry Browne
What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen. George Orwell
The worst of being a Communist is the parties you may go to are - well - awfully funny and touching but not very gay...I don't see the point of sad parties, do you? And Left-wing people are always sad because they mind dreadfully about their causes, and the causes are always going so badly. Nancy Mitford
Why couldn't Rachel be a little more specific about the type of person she was? Goodness knew; if she were a hippie I'd talk to her about her drug experiences, the zodiac, tarot cards. If she were left-wing I'd look miserable, hate Greece, and eat baked beans straight from the tin. If she were the sporty type I'd play her at... chess and backgammon and things. Martin Amis
Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here. Woody Allen
[we are] going to continue to fight communism. Now I am going to tell you how we are not going to fight communism. We are not going to transform our fine FBI into a Gestapo secret police. That is what some people would like to do. We are not going to try to control what our people read and say and think. We are not going to turn the United States into a right-wing totalitarian country in order to deal with a left-wing totalitarian threat. Harry S. Truman
I grew up in an atmosphere tinged with militarism, and afterwards I spent five boring years within the sound of bugles. To this day it gives me a faint feeling of sacrilege not to stand to attention during ‘God save the King’. That is childish, of course, but I would sooner have had that kind of upbringing than be like the left-wing intellectuals who are so ‘enlightened’ that they cannot understand the most ordinary emotions. George Orwell
Pat Metheny quote: "I think I represent a more left-wing view of what jazz is."
I think I represent a more left-wing view of what jazz is. Pat Metheny
We have to struggle against the conservatives from all sides, not only the right-wingers, but also the left-wing conservatives who don't want to change anything. Jacques Delors
A certain number of Americans are already in Peking and most of us here feel that it would be very useful for the United States and especially for the Left-wing progressive movement in the United States if groups of students such as you mention could make a tour of China. Anna Louise Strong
Miuccia Prada quote: "I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was..."
I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was no different from thousands of middle-class kids. Miuccia Prada
I swing both ways. I can see things from a kind of conservative point of view and from a more socially liberal or left-wing point of view. Evan Davis
George Orwell quote: "So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by..."
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot. George Orwell
P. J. O'Rourke quote: "What would annoy the most people most often? That is the true..."
What would annoy the most people most often? That is the true left-wing test of government intervention. P. J. O'Rourke
The left-wing, which consists of armoured and motorized forces and has no enemy in front of it, will be stopped dead in its tracks upon direct order from the Fuhrer. Franz Halder
