Far left parties aren't represented in the parliement. In fact, one of them only partakes in elections for executive power.
How to spot far-left: they want to go beyond representative democracy: direct democracy and/or autogestion are their desired end goal. They want to remove executive power (no mayor or president by default), and their view on legislative power differ too much to matter
LFI '6th republic' still is a representative republic, with a more participative glow than the 5th, but is basically the same. They are pro-constitutionalists (basically it mean they will respect the judicial power), want to weaken the executive power but not remove it, to go back to a more northern European kind of democracy.
Far right is basically antidemocracy. That can have different form, recently in France, attacks on elected officials, or on judges.
