leftist movements
Liberal political organizing
Leftist movements are organized efforts to advance progressive or radical political goals—typically economic equality, workers' rights, social justice, or opposition to capitalism.
The term encompasses everything from labor unions and socialist parties to anarchist collectives and revolutionary groups.
Leftist movements gained momentum during the Great Depression.
The phrase often carries ideological weight depending on who's using it.
