Radical left
Since the early 20th century, radical left has been used as an umbrella term to describe those on the political left who adhere explicitly and openly to revolutionary socialism, communism, or anarchism. In this meaning it generally does not include democratic socialists, social democrats, liberals, trade unionists, or those working in electoral politics, since the "radical" qualifier tends in this case to denote a revolutionary fervor, though such a fervor may or may not include the use of physical violence as a strategy.
