The far-left in France encompasses political organizations, movements, and ideologies that are considered to be at the furthest left end of the political spectrum. It includes a variety of political traditions, such as revolutionary socialism, anarchism, Maoism, and Trotskyism. Historically, the far-left has distinguished itself by opposing the reformist left represented by the PCF and the SFIO, advocating instead for the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a classless, egalitarian society.[1][2]
- ^ Cosseron 2007, p. 20: "le terme sert à qualifier « tous les mouvements se situant à la gauche du Parti communiste ». ["The term refers to all movements situated to the left of the Communist Party."]
- ^ Piot 2008, p. 9: "L'expression « extrême gauche » désigne l'ensemble des groupes et organisations politiques qui se situent à gauche de ces deux courants de la gauche française que sont la social-démocratie (PS, Verts, PRG) et le PC. Contrairement à ces partis, mais aussi à certaines tendances de la « gauche radicale » (altermondialisme, José Bové), qui défendent une idéologie réformiste de gestion du capitalisme, les organisations d'extrême gauche prônent le renversement du capitalisme par la révolution." ["The term 'far left' encompasses political groups and organizations situated to the left of the main currents of the French left, including the PS and the PCF. Unlike these parties, which advocate reformist management of capitalism, far-left organizations call for revolutionary change."]
