The Evolution of Leftist Movements

The leftist movement began in the late 18th century with the French Revolution, promoting liberty, equality, and fraternity. Influential figures like Marx and Engels shaped its ideology, notably through "The Communist Manifesto". The 20th century saw a diversification into socialism, communism, and anarchism, while also advocating for civil rights, feminism, and environmental justice. Today, these movements adapt to ongoing social demands and global challenges.
