Left-wing terrorism seeks to destroy capitalism and replace it with a communist state. Extreme cases of radical environmentalism verge on ecoterrorism, which is pushed primarily by left-wing radicals.

The Majority of left-wing groups/movements reject terrorism either on moral grounds or for being counter-productive in advancing the progressive cause. Groups on the far-left tend to differentiate the violent actions of minority groups with guerrilla struggles and extreme civil disobedience (e.g. rioting), which they see as justified under certain circumstances.
