Left-wing terrorism seeks to destroy capitalism and replace it with a communist or socialist regime. Extreme cases of radical environmentalism verge on ecoterrorism, which is pushed primarily by left-wing radicals.
Examples of left-wing terrorist groups:
- Brigade Rosse (Red Brigades).
- Japanese Red Army
- Red Army Faction, also known as Baader-Meinhof Gang
- Weather Underground
