"'Win-winism' is just a repackaging of age old leftist theory."

Lefist theory? It sounds solidly right-wing to me.

The article's author writes:

"What win-win-ism says is, the best way to help the least among us is to do what's good for the richest and most powerful."

That sounds to me very much like Trickle-down economics[1], of which Reagan was the champion.

Do you consider Reagan a leftist?

The "leftist theory" is the description of the right-wing ideology that Anand calls "Win-winism". I'm not saying that "Win-Winism" is right-wing.
