A couple more links:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/egalitarianism/

These are about the philosophy, but you can see the divisions in Leftism from classical liberal through Communism play out in these arguments.

The core philosophy of the Left is egalitarianism; this is inherent in their origin both in the ancient times and in Revolutionary France.

"left, in politics, the portion of the political spectrum associated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life."

For me, getting away from Wikipedia is important. It's enemy propaganda. Britannica does a lot better for quality information anyway.

Yes. Imagine Leftism without egalitarianism.

Libertarianism is basically anarchy and that is dysfunctional.

But as an economic theory and a way of achieving indirect solutions it is great.
