""Wolin is often described as representing the hard-Left"" - not because of the conceptualization then cited in your text, but because he's noticed that a) other historical democracies like Athens and early Rome succumbed to becoming empires, with democracy losing out and b) the way an empire describes itself is often not accurate.[source:  public lecture, keynote speaker, CLMP Annual Event, Redway Calif., Nov. 1, 2008].  So American Democracy is deconstructed in his books.  But why does the ""hard-Left"" term link to a very specific British political party leftist term of art - to which Sheldon Wolin has no cited direct connection whatsoever?
