Far-left
The term Far-left refers to the relative position a group or person occupies within the political spectrum.
In general, it is usually used to describe persons or groups who hold extreme views that 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, although others use it to describe any view they perceive as hostile to capitalism.
