hard-left
Far-left political stance
Hard-left describes political positions or groups at the extreme end of left-wing ideology—typically advocating radical economic redistribution, abolition of capitalism, or revolutionary social change.
The term is often used critically by opponents: The candidate's hard-left policies alienated moderate voters.
Compare with far-left, which carries similar meaning.
