Which was further left?

[Sumner 1868]

Would you consider Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal or Lyndon Johnson's Great Society to be further on the left?

[Antonio the Sixth]

The Great Society was a continuation and an expansion of the spirit of the New Deal, so it was equally left-wing in theory, and more leftist in practice.

[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

Lean GS

[RINO Tom]

By today's standards, the GS.  Comparing each to its time, easily the New Deal.

[Lief 🗽]

The Great Society, because it didn't leave out racial minorities.

[politicus]

By today's standards, the GS.  Comparing each to its time, easily the New Deal.

That is a good point. World wide Great Society was not radical at all in a context where several Western countries had fully fledged welfare states and since it build on New Deal it was also less radical in a US context.

[Türkisblau]

Easily Great Society.

I am a much bigger fan of the New Deal myself.

[TNF]

Neither attempted to alter the relationship of the producers to production, so neither was 'left-wing'.

[Redalgo]

Context is important. If we're talking about ideologies then TNF is correct - both initiatives were simply less extensive in their rightwards lean than previous policies. If we're talking about attitudes and their relation to contemporary norms of political culture the New Deal was further to the left than the Great Society. If we're talking about drift towards one end of the traditional spectrum or another, finally, the Great Society would be more progressed in leftwards drift than the New Deal.

[Mr. Smith]

Since I voted by the context of the times, I voted for the New Deal

Although I'm far more a fan of The Great Society than The New Deal
