The left

The left, in political terms, generally refers to groups or ideologies that advocate for social equality, government intervention in the economy, and policies supporting marginalized communities. They often emphasize social justice, workers’ rights, and the redistribution of wealth to reduce inequalities. Historically, the left seeks to expand public services like healthcare and education, promote civil rights, and challenge traditional power structures. While interpretations vary by country, the core idea is prioritizing social fairness and collective well-being over individual privilege or free-market dominance.
