When free software isn't practically superior (2015)

Mostly off-topic :) but socialism cannot be "radical leftism" - because you're left like that without any "non-radical leftism" options. Is it left? Sure. But I'd use the labels "radical" for anarchism or marxism.

Well, it depends on your definition of left and radical. For me, "left" doesn't mean much and is mostly a mirage anyways, but radical has a meaning - and socialism in general, by my definition anyways - seeks to change the basic social relationships in our society to go at the root of the issues, and I think that fits the radical definition.

That being said, I'd say social democracy is an example of non-radical leftism.

Then I'm very curious to hear some examples of non-radical left.
