leftist political movements

Leftist political movements advocate for social equality, economic justice, and the redistribution of power and resources. They often seek to address issues such as poverty, discrimination, and workers' rights through policies like higher taxes on the wealthy, increased social services, and stronger labor protections. These movements emphasize collective ownership or control of resources and often support progressive social policies, including universal healthcare and education. Influential leftist ideologies include socialism and communism, which aim to create a more equitable society, though they differ in methods and beliefs about government structure and individual freedoms.
