左翼 (Zuo Yì)

左翼 (Zuo Yì) refers to the "left-wing" ideology in politics, typically associated with progressive or liberal beliefs. It advocates for social equality, governmental intervention in the economy, and the protection of civil rights. Left-wing movements often support policies such as wealth redistribution, universal healthcare, and environmental protection. Historically, the left has been linked to labor movements and socialist principles, contrasting with right-wing ideologies that emphasize individualism, free markets, and limited government. In many political contexts, "left-wing" can denote groups or parties that seek reform and challenge traditional power structures.
