Communism is a social and political movement...
The reason is to add "extreme left wing is to clarify the source of the movement just like "populism" is an extreme right wing political movement. Many people fail to understand that communism just like populism are political movements from different ideology extremes, one is extreme left wing and the other is extreme right wing, respectfully. In today's society the left wing in he United States is the Democratic Party and Republicans are right wing. The further extreme left wing political ideologies lean towards communism aka totalitarian, and the further extreme right wing political ideologies lean towards anarchy aka no hierarchy . If you have any questions please drop me a line at benjaminfraklin755@gmail.com
You don't understand concept of left and right wing politics. Also, you must understand that the Soviet Union is not the example of communism, but rather a system which is officially and constitutionally devoted to developing socialism and by long term communism, such states we call socialist states and such system we call state socialism. Communism is left wing because it is a classless, moneyless and stateless society in wich means of production are in common ownership and left wing is the term applied for philosophies that promote social equality an egalitarian society, i.e. social democracy and social liberalism are center-left and anarchism and communism are far-left. On the other hand right wing are philosophies that promote a society based on hierarchy and tradition and hold that people are by default unequal and that is therefore natural that the economic and social status is also unequal, christian democracy and conservatism are center-right, and fascism and nazism are far-right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IWA1864 (talk • contribs) 19:52, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
