In the United States after Reconstruction, the phrase "the Left" Empty In the United States after Reconstruction, the phrase "the Left"

In the United States after Reconstruction, the phrase "the Left" was used to describe those who supported labor unions, the civil rights movements, and anti-war demonstrations.[6][9] In more recent times, in the United States, left-wing and right-wing have often been used as synonyms for Democrat and Republican, or as synonyms for liberalism and conservatism in the specific meaning of those terms in American English.[10][11][12][13] In the United States the Democratic Party is generally perceived to be a center-left coalition.

Karl Marx described the working class as the revolutionary class. What became known as the New Left however sought to de-emphasize the economic determinism which Marx advocated in Das Kapital, and focus instead upon what they perceived to be the more humanist Marx of the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844. The New Left came to prominence in the West after the student-and-worker revolts of 1968.
