In certain instances, the term far-left or radical left has been associated with forms of communism, anarchism and autonomism Groups that advocate for eco-terrorism, anti-globalization or anti-capitalism, for instance, have been characterized as far-left. Distinctions have been made between the left (Communist Party) and the far-left (Trotskyists and anarchists) in France.

Extremism of far-left politics can lead to violent measures. Leading to the formation of far-left militant organizations meant to abolish capitalist systems and the upper ruling class seeking perfect or near perfect equality.

Definition
Although the definitions of the far-left have varied in the literature, there is a general consensus on the core characteristics that constitute the far-left party family.

Far-left parties include two main typologies - the "radical left" and "extreme left". There is a clear distinction from the political left. Far-left parties are way beyond left of social democracy. The far-left notably wrongs and villainizes liberal democracy. Such scholars as March and Mudde try to establish socio-economic rights at the radical left's core. Moreover, that that the far-left is "left" with regard to how parties or groups describe economic inequality on the base of existing social and political arrangements.

Far-left politics is radical as it offers a fundamental change socio-economic structure of capitalism. This radical aspect challenges the construction of the resource distribution system from the existing political elite. The far-left parties are an increasingly stabilized political actor and are challenging mainstream social democratic parties. Another core characteristic for far-left politics is internationalism, with ts focus on networking and solidarity, and being in front of the action to oppose globalization and neo-liberalism.
