'''Far-left''' refers to the [[extremism|extreme]] position on the [[Left]] side of the [[political spectrum]] that is [[collectivist]], [[intolerant]], advocates [[big government]] through [[authoritarianismtotalitarianism]] (although in some cases, far-leftists also advocate complete [[anarchy]]), [[fascism]], [[totalitarianism]], [[single party]] advocacy, and [[anti-democratic]] ideals. It is represented through movements such [[Progressivism]], [[Marxism]], and [[Democratic Socialism]].
Far-leftist groups often adopt names that are [[oxymoron]]ic and contradictory, such as [[National Socialism]], [[Antifascist]], or Democratic Socialism.
==Motivation==
[[Envy]] is perhaps the main driving motivation behind far left ideology, envy of persons or institutions which have obtained social status and political power by merit or inheritance. They possess a [[You didn't build that|desire for other people's wealth]] coupled with a lust for power. Far leftists consider the only thing resembling [[justice]] on this [[Earth]] is having themselves in power, not through fair elections, but by deception or [[violence]]. Besides envy, another driving motivation behind far left ideology is a love of carnage and chaos for its own sake. This can be seen with Karl Marx openly advocating in various letters that, once the Marxists are at the helm, they not only are obliged to reenact Robespierre's Reign of Terror, but also make it even more of a bloodbath, as well as Michel Foucault openly advocating that the left when taking power should be a violent, dictatorial, and bloody power to its enemies, and even advocate for [[September Massacres]]-style "popular justice" (iei.e., lynchings), as well as General Trudeau and Commander Louis Grignon both advocated during the Vendee massacre that "everyone they met was to be immediately killed, even if they were Republicans".
Democracy and popular [[consensus]] is not part of far left ideology (barring [[Mobocracy]] and mob rule). Among [[Democratic Socialist]]s, for example, the core value is said to be, to develop a consensus among themselves how to govern [[society]]. However, this principle is subject to change with the next historical whim or crisis.
