From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The term Far-left refers to the relative position a group or person occupies within the political spectrum.
In general, far-left groups seek fundamental social and political change by taking over or overthrowing the existing order in society. Depending on a group's militancy and the given political circumstances, revolutionary change may be achieved through democratic or undemocratic, violent or nonviolent means. Typically, far-left groups are socialist, communist or anarchist and strongly oppose capitalist governments and institutions.
