What's the most left-winged thing someone can say? (sh.itjust.works)

Was talking about this with someone today. People, especially the right-winged, will associate the so-called far left wing with Communism/Marxism. But I find it weird that any scale would just happen to have that as the far end of the spectrum. If you were to go down the scale to the very, very end, what political statement/remark would be the closest thing to the very tip of the spectrum? Something like "the robots should take over" or something?

I'm sure most would say that political thought is too complex to build it down to that simple of a spectrum. Even in the colloquial scale I'd say there are many schools of socialism, but the "furthest left" in the real world might be anarchism. Beyond that, to use your example, would probably be a Utopian version of the matrix.
