Far-left politics are politics further to the left on the political spectrum than the standard political left. The far-left encompasses a wide range of heterogeneous ideologies, including anarchism, revolutionary socialism, communism and related socialist ideologies. The far-left frequently advocates for anti-capitalism, anti-globalisation, anti-imperialism, and anti-fascism, with most of the far-left aspiring to a classless and/or stateless society. The modern far-left distinguishes itself from social democracy through its inherent opposition to capitalism, neoliberalism, and globalisation.
