'''Leftist''' refers to someone on the Left side of the [[political spectrum]], such as a particularly [[liberal]] member of the [[American]] [[Democrat Party]], a member of the [[British]] [[Labour Party]], a [[progressive]], [[socialist]], [[Democratic Socialist]], or (to the far Left) a [[Communist]]. A Leftist supports collectivism, more government control of the economy, direct government control over social policy (although there were some leftists, such as [[Jean-Paul Sartre]], [[Michel Foucault]], and [[Noam Chomsky]] who adhered to a purely [[anarchism|anarchistic]] view of the world), including federal control over education at all levels, lower [[military]] spending, censorship of religion, a [[Living Constitution|living constitution]], [[Same-sex marriage|same-sex "marriages"]], a more unisex society, [[globalism]], [[transnationalism]], [[feminism]], the [[homosexual agenda]], [[anti-Semitism]], [[racism]], support for [[Islam]], taxpayer-funded [[abortion]], and sometimes even taxpayer-funded [[terrorism]]<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/your-taxes-are-funding-terrorists-demand-that-this-stops</ref> and [[censorship]] of [[Christianity]] and [[social media]] in the public arena. Some leftists even want a totalitarian one-party world government.
