This Left-right discussion is interesting. Many people here (in sweden) would consider both republicans and democrats to be more or less right wing. Our Right wing goverment that we have right now is much closer to the democrats than to the republicans.

What we call leftist would be those parties left of the social-democrats (which we consider in the middle, and who stand a good deal left of the US democrats)

That would include the Left-party (yes thats the actual name!), and the various communist parties. While the greens fall in their own category.
