Did you even read your own link? Not only does it mention that it's a specific movement that is "militant, predominantly left-wing", it outright states that

>Individuals involved in the movement tend to hold anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist views and subscribe to a range of left-wing ideologies such as anarchism, communism, Marxism, social democracy and socialism
