far-leftist

Revolutionary political advocate

A far-leftist holds political views on the extreme left of the spectrum, typically advocating radical transformation of economic and social systems—abolishing capitalism, dismantling existing power structures, or pursuing revolutionary change.

The term encompasses communists, anarchists, and others whose positions go well beyond mainstream liberalism.

Often used pejoratively by critics: The senator dismissed the proposal as far-leftist nonsense.
