The National Socialists – Left of the 21st century (Czech: Národní socialisté – levice 21. století, NS-LEV 21) also known as Left 21 (LEV 21) is a left political party in the Czech Republic founded in October 2011 by Jiří Paroubek, former Prime Minister and former leader of the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD).
Former Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek was elected chairman of his newly founded party at the constituent congress on 26 November. The party has two representatives in the 200-seat Chamber of Deputies, Paroubek and Jiri Slegr (ex-CSSD).
The party name is in reference to the historical Czech National Social Party. LEV 21 wants to follow up the tradition of the national socialists in the First Czechoslovak Republic. It is unrelated to Nazism.
