Far-left refers to the extreme position on the Left side of the political spectrum that is collectivist, intolerant, advocates big government through authoritarianism, fascism, totalitarianism, single party advocacy, and anti-democratic ideals. It is represented through movements such Progressivism, Marxism, and Democratic Socialism.
Far leftist groups often adopt names that are oxymoronic and contradictory, such as National Socialism, Antifascist, or Democratic Socialism.
The far left is noted for internecine war. Due to its anti-democratic, technocrat and elitist ideals, competition within the far left to claim the mantle as the vanguard of the revolutionary elite leads them to label each other, and anyone who opposes their singular group, as fascist or right wing.
Far leftists oppose free speech, gun rights, freedom of religion, fair elections and sovereignty. Fundamentally, they oppose democracy and human rights.
While far left language and rhetoric is deceptively couched in terms such as "democracy," "human rights," "equality," etc., using Marxist dialectics, words, ideas, historical eras, philosophical concepts, and broad world views can be bent and twisted to mean whatever they want them to mean, to serve the immediate purposes of the self-appointed elitists - obtaining power for themselves and destroying their enemies, both real and imagined.
Far leftists tend to think of themselves as "intellectual" and "enlightened," and above the the fray of politics and mortal men. They approach their non-democratic task to "save humanity" from itself by promoting themselves as technocrats, bureaucrats, organizers, agitators, activists and elites with missionary zeal.
