Which group's views are considered to be on the left?
In politics, the term 'the left' refers to the radical or socialist views and political position of certain parties of a political system, or may refer to the position taken by members within a particular political group, party or sector. ('The right' refers to a more conservative position, one that preserves traditional or cultural values.) Related political terms: left wing, center (holding moderate views, neither left nor right), right wing. ---- NOTE:
1. While it is easy to describe certain political positions as being either 'left' or 'right', in reality such a clear distinction cannot always be made between their respective policies. Many right-wing groups embrace left-wing principles, and vice versa. Party manifestos cover a wide range of social, financial and commercial issues, and often there is very little difference, if any, between the position of the 'leftists' and the 'rightists' on some matters. (In order to identify how far 'left' or 'right' a particular position is, a close and detailed analysis of each political stance is recommended.) 2. Political views are far more complex than simply left or right. See related links below. ---- IDEOLOGIES

* left: communism, anarchism, social democracy, anti-capitalist * right: monarchists, 'aristocrats', royalists, imperialism, fascism, religious fundamentalism, capitalist.

Is Marxism theoretical or practical?
Marxism is a theoretical framework for the movement of society from a capitalist economy and an expansive government to a purely egalitarian economy and anarchy though numerous incremental stages. This process has never worked successfully but has been implemented repeatedly with various degrees of strictness and adulteration with other philosophies. Democratic Socialism is the most watered down and least strict implementation of Marxism and Communism is strictest implementation, but has never made it out of the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" intermediate stage.
Is the political system of Albania democracy?
Albania is considered to be an emerging democracy; in a state of transition from previous forms of institutions to democratic ones. Since 1991 it has a multi-party system, and elections are held every four years.
Nevertheless, since your question is, whether it is a democracy or not, I will simply say no, compared to Italy, France, UK and so on, and yes, compared to Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan etc. The situation however is much more complicated than that, because of Albania's expressed commitment to join the EU. That has caused to much pressure as well as a lot of misunderstandings. The EU is a source of inspiration for the Albanian soiety, but of discouragement too. The main reason why Albanians from Albania emigrate so much for instance to Greece, Italy, Germany, UK and US is the "easiest way" for people to have what they lack at home. The costs of this process have not yet been calculated, even though the incomes of returning immigrants is what has helped more than once the Albanian economy.
You should do some wikipedia research. There are a lot of interesting facts about this question.
