Leftist movements
Leftist movements advocate for social equality, justice, and often seek to address the imbalances created by capitalism. They emphasize the need for reform in areas such as wealth distribution, workers' rights, racial and gender equality, and environmental protection. These movements can include socialism, communism, and other progressive ideologies, often focusing on collective action and government intervention to promote social welfare and reduce poverty. Historically, leftist movements have emerged in response to economic inequalities and injustices, aiming for a more equitable society where resources and opportunities are shared more broadly.
