Health Care Reform Plan
Family and Medical leave act
Gays in the armed forces
Brady Bill
Low Income Tax Credit
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
Not exactly Karl Marx, but all those bills and initiatives were aimed at improving working people's lives, ending discriminatory practices, or at least pissing off the NRA.
Foreign policy was less obviously liberal, especially the cynical cruise missile attack on Afghanistan which was pretty much entirley for purposes of domestic politics. Still, with hindsight it looks less controversial... and on the other hand, Clinton came in on Kosovo and pushed as hard for a Palestinian state as any US president has. Plus he visited Viet Nam and pushed for European integration. Hardly fucking Nixon was he?
