Razlika između inačica stranice »Politička ljevica«

Trenutačna izmjena od 21:35, 23. ožujka 2022.

Lјevica predstavlja opći pojam kojim se označavaju politički pokreti, političke stranke i političke ideje koje pripadaju političkom spektru lјevice.

Opći ciljevi ljevice obično su društvena jednakost, egalitarizam, radnička prava i demokratizacija, sa čestim naglaskom protiv nevoluntarnih hijerarhija.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Tipično zagovara brigu o skupinama koje su potlačene naspram drugih u društvu kroz ublažavanje ili rješavanje nepravednih nejednakosti.^[1]

Termini Ljevica i Desnica nastaju tokom Francuske revolucije (1789. – 1799.), a odnosi se na raspodjelu sjedala u Skupštini Generalnih staleža. Oni koji su sjedili na lijevoj strani, republikanci, protivili su se monarhiji i podržavali revoluciju, uključujući i formiranje republike, dok su na desnici podržavali tradicionalne institucije Ancien Régimea, tj. Starog poretka. Termin ljevica počinje biti korišten restauracijom Francuske monarhije 1815. godine.^[5]

Termin se koristi za mnoge pokrete, pogotovo republikanizam tokom Francuske revolucije, proljeća naroda, pa onda za socijalizam,^[6] koji uključuje anarhizam, marksizam, socijaldemokraciju i brojne druge teorije, u 19. i 20. stoljeću.^[7] Od tada se ljevica koristi za širok pojas pokreta i ideja,^[8] uključujući pokrete za građanska prava, feminističke pokrete, proturatne prosvjede i environmentalizam,^[9]^[10] i niz političkih stranaka.^[11]^[12]^[13] Profesor ekonomije Barry Clark tvrdi: "ljevičari smatraju da ljudski razvoj napreduje kada se individualci uključe u kooperativne, međusobno sporazumne odnose koji bujaju tek kada se pretjerane razlike u statusu, moći i bogatstvu eliminiraju."^[14]

Obilježja suvremene i nove ljevice za umanjenje nepravda koje stvara ekonomski kapitalizam:

Na razini poduzeća to znači razvijanje mehanizama demokracije na radnom mjestu;

Na razini ekonomije to znači razvijanje društvene i demokratske koordinacije umjesto slijepe tržišne proizvodnje;

Na razini državnih institucija to znači širenje predstavničkog tipa demokracije s mehanizmima izravne demokracije (npr. participativni proračun, opoziv zastupnika i gradonačelnika, itd.);

Na razini društva to znači borba protiv svakog oblika podređenosti i iskorištavanja, naročito borba protiv diskriminacije na osnovi rase, spola, seksualne orijentacije, nacionalne ili etničke pripadnosti, svjetonazora, hendikepa, pripadnosti manjinskoj zajednici i sl.;

U odnosu na okoliš to znači usklađivanje gospodarstva u skladu s nosećim i obnovljivim sposobnostima okoliša, te s uvođenjem ekološki prihvatljivih tehnologija.

Pristaše suvremene i nove ljevice se zalažu za internacionalizam, umanjenje i prevazilaženje nepravdi koje stvara svjetski kapitalizam, pa se vezuju uz napredne pokrete i stranke iz cijelog svijeta. Borba obuhvata svjetski anti-kapitalistički pokret, kojeg čine različiti radnički i sindikalni pokreti, pokreti za ljudska i manjinska prava i slobode, te suvremene ljevičarske stranke, organizacije i pojedinci.

Napredni pokreti obično se organiziraju na dva načina. Organiziraju se kao stranke koje žele dobiti demokratsku političku moć i djelovati kao anti-sistemska vlast, ali i kao pokreti koji se bore za nadilaženje sustava bez želje za preuzimanjem političke vlasti. Obje strategije su značajne: oni koji djeluju odozdo, i nadilaze dosadašnje društvene odnose, i oni koji u formalnom političkom prostoru mijenjaju politike odozgo.

Termin suvremena ljevica, nova ljevica ili demokratska ljevica koristi se i kao sinonim za različite anti-autoritarne socijalističke i neo-marksističke pokrete, organizacije i stranke, ali se pridjev "demokratski" koristi za razlikovanje demokratskih ljevičara od boljševizma 20. stoljeća i marksističko-lenjinističkog modela izgradnje socijalizma, koji se smatra nedemokratskim i autoritarnim, te iskrivljenjem plemenite ideje socijalne pravde.

Načelna obilježja suvremene i nove ljevice su: anti-autoritarnost i demokratičnost; anti-kapitalizam; anti-militarizam; sekularizam i anti-klerikalizam; internacionalizam i anti-nacionalizam.
