The Far Left Group, known to historians as the Historical Far Left, was a parliamentary faction of the legislature of the Electorate of Astra, the Diet of Terraum, from 1841 to 1848. The faction consisted of Radical, Socialist, and Anti-monarchist politicians from the Electorate of Astra during the Plamyadian Rule.
Originally a more extreme wing of the Historical Left, the wing separated itself in 1841 after voicing discontent with the Left Group's neglect of the common folk. The party disbanded in 1848, along with the Left Group and Right Group, after their planned outbreak of the 1848 Revolution. Like the Right Group, the Far Left did not manage to organize a succeeding party immediately following the 1848 Revolution until 1860 in the form of the United Socialist Democratic Party
History
The Far Left was originally a group within the Left and mainly consisted of university educated lawyers and doctors as opposed to the wealthy capitalists and nobles that made up the rest of the Left Group. The group began to disassociate itself after the Left's leadership, which was in control of the country, decided to attack Employees that were participating in the 1840 North Terraum steel mill revolt. Afterwards the group, originally a loose collection of representatives, organized and listed "Rights for the Working Man" as one of its main tenets. Further division occured when the group was not invited and not allowed entry into the Left's 1941 convention. The Far Left Group declared independence from the Left Group in the summer of 1841.
