In the eyes of the far-right, everyone to the left of them is a member of the left. Anyone in the center is far-left, and any actual left-wing person should be in jail.
In normal discourse among people who aren't far-right ideologues, a left-wing person is someone who supports material action being taken to bring about social justice. Contrasted with a liberal who mouths support for justice while vehemently opposing any material action to bring it about, and with a member of the right who finds the very idea of social justice offensive.
