The term leftist was first coined during the French Revolution, largely in reference to the revolutionaries. However, the name origin has been debated to be either a reference to parliament members who occupied the left side of the room or derived from a passage in the Book of Revelations indicating those damned to Hell as goats for not following Jesus as an example of radical fevor.
