Left-wing radicalism refers to political movements and ideologies that seek significant social, economic, and political change, often advocating for the redistribution of wealth and power. These movements typically challenge existing structures, such as capitalism and traditional governance, aiming to create a more equitable society. Key concepts include social justice, anti-capitalism, and collectivism. Historically, left-wing radicalism has manifested in various forms, including socialism, communism, and anarchism. Prominent figures associated with these ideologies include Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky. While left-wing radicals may differ in their methods and goals, they generally share a commitment to addressing systemic inequalities and promoting the rights of marginalized groups.
