Actual far lyftyst here, setting the record straight--although I do detest situations in which I must use that horribly bigoted term.
What does the "far left" want for America?
Equality. Is that so much to ask?
What does the far left want?
They want the economy of Greece for starters. High unemployment because there are no incentives to work. Everyone works crappy governmetn jobs and retires at 50, with full benefits
Free healthcare
Free college education
Free birth control
Free housig
Free food
Free water
Free electricity
Free internet
Free cell phones
Free computers
Free transportation
And higher higher higer taxes on anyone who dares wander off the plantation in search of a better life.
And thats for starters.

Fairly simple to answer.
As a whole (to generalize, of course, but the far Left and the far Right are fairly recognizable in their approaches), the Left wants to accomplish what Barack Obama so clearly and repeatedly promised when he ran for President: They want to "change", "fundamentally transform", and "re-make" America, all his words.
It's not unreasonable to ask why someone would want to "change", "fundamentally transform", and "re-make" something that they like, and it's therefore not unreasonable to wonder if these people like this country, let alone love it.
Marxism, socialism, communism? No, that's a mistake the far Right makes when they try to explain what they're seeing happen. A Euro-social democracy? That's more like it. This would require bringing America's dynamic nature down a few pegs, finding a more mediocre level, and we're getting there pretty quickly. I'd guess this will take another 20 years or so, depending on how often the Right continues to shoot itself in the foot.

Lol. This "Far Left" rhetoric is just nonsense.
You believe that people should have the equal treatment under the law guaranteed by the 14th amendment? Far left marxist Obama-loving commie bastard!!
Feel that a social safety net for the weakest in our society to survive is a good idea? Far left commie pinko bastard!!
It's absolute nonsense.
There is "far left", there is "far right".
If you don't see that, fine. But it is not nonsense.
The nonsense comes when posters accuse anyone they disagree with as "far left" or right. Sure the two extremes exist, but not as frequently as the hardliners would have us believe.
You're a low information moron. Like thats news to anyone.
Discriinating against women on equal pay has been illegal since 1963. The Lilly Ledbetter Act had nothing to do with that. It was a trial lawyers full employment act. Nothing more.

Spin it the way you want, here's a summary:
"The antecedents of the case were posed when Lilly Ledbetter, a production supervisor at a Goodyear tire plant in Alabama, filed an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, six months before her early retirement in 1998.[2][3]
The courts gave opposite verdicts, first supporting the complainant and later opposing; in conclusion the complaint brought the case to the attention of the Supreme Court. The latter ruled in 2007 by a 5-4 majority vote that Ledbetter's complaint was time-barred because the discriminatory decisions relating to pay had been made more than 180 days prior to the date she filed her charge, as explained by Justice Samuel Alito.[4] Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dissenting opinion proposed an interpretation according to which the law runs from the date of any paycheck that contains an amount affected by a prior discriminatory pay decision".
It was the GOP, when under control of those who would be considered RINOs today, that the Equal Rights Amendment was opposed.
Still pretending the Republican Party is the party of the big tent, huh rabbit? Face it, no body believed it in the past, and even the GOP no longer suggests it is so. LIke you the GOP is the party of callous conservatives whose motto is, "I got mine, fuck the rest of you!".
Again, we are stuck in a quagmire of missing definitions. The one fundamental change I've seen is limited to the The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 and the PPACA (Obamacare). Issues which have been simmering for decades, and whose time had come. Only the callous conservatives believe paying women less than men for the same work is 'fair' (fair to whom, one might ask) and that the health care system which preceded the PPACA wasn't a failure for too many American Citizens.
Those who support the Republican brand seem to use the phrase "far left" and "left wingers" to describe everyone who disagrees with the dogma they hold true. Since it makes no sense to use these phrases to describe ten of millions of Americans, maybe one of them who uses these phrases would describe the beliefs those who disagree with them hold.
That the phrases are used interchangeably with "Marixts, "Communists", "Socialists" and other such words as pejoratives, and it is likely these economic theories are not understood and are not differentiated from political theories of governance by their users, I expect any of them who attempt to answer this question to default to personal attacks and or idiot-grams. But we will see, maybe one of them will actually think and respond substantively.
Sweden, warmer with fewer blondes.damn, read the whole thread and not one leftist posted what they want, except for that wymins character and she asked for what she already has.
so what is it guys? what do you really want?

In my observation almost all significant legislation is the result of compromise and negotiation. That guarantees that purists from the right or left are likely to be disappointed. It also means that law will usually be made by those pragmatists willing to live with what can be worked out. It seems the left has learned this lesson; even an avowed Socialist like Bernie Sanders seems willing to work with anyone if the end result promises to be better than the status quo. We haven't heard many calls to man the barricades from the revolutionary left lately; that imagery has been taken up by a motley collection of right-wingers.
