Bill Williamsdeleted inaccurate use of a source that's not relevant. the source says nothing about far-left being difficult to characterize and never says that many far-left positions are not extreme, it just says (back in 2009) that far-left parties were gaining ground because many far-left parties are not that extreme. far-left parties and far-left positions are two different things, and again this is irrelevant to the sentence.

Tokisaki KurumiRewrite this paragraph. The Cambridge History of Communism and Service's book devote some texts to these issues: universal education is correct, but it is not the main focus; the main focus lies in the shift in ethnic policy. Healthcare isn't even mentioned in the original reference, though it did exist—but it was merely a minor provision in the legislation. Finally, there is feminism, which is the most interesting aspect: liberalization is only a period.
