This is a list of left-wing terrorist attacks. Left-wing terrorism is terrorism motivated by left-wing or far-left ideologies, committed with the aim of overthrowing current capitalist systems and replacing them with communist or socialist societies.[1] Left-wing terrorism can also occur within already socialist states as criminal action against the current ruling government.[2][3]
