Article life

I created this hopelessly fragmentary article in an effort to get rid of even worse pieces elsewhere. Laudak (talk) 20:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Religious Radicalism

Is there an article on this ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morbid Fairy (talk • contribs) 14:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC) 'Religious radicalism' is a misleading term - radicalism being the seeking of freedom, 'religious radicalism' should correctly refer to movements such as liberation theology, yet it is more commonly associated with religious fanaticism. What you are referring to is generally known as fundamentalism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.135.169 (talk) 18:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hopelessly American-centered article

This is a prime candidate for an article that does not reflect a worldwide view at all. And it needs serious attention from several experts in the field. --ZemplinTemplar (talk) 20:03, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conservatives and radicalism

I've seen more conservatives use radical as a derogatory term than I have radicals using conservative as a derogatory term. 71.96.67.49 (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Reply: You having "seen more" (whatever that's supposed to even mean), is not a valid source for any additions.

Rename to "Radicalism (politics)"

I propose introducing this article with a clear fork indicating: "Radicalism", "Radicalism (politics)" (this article) and "Extremism (politics)".

1. "Radicalism" is a liberal political movement.

2. Since the 20th century term "Radicalism" has also been used for far left and far right positions. But in either case the term "radical" implies reform through or within the existing institutions, not a revolution. See the discussion and decision by the German constitutional court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_right_(Europe)#Terminology_and_definition

3. In addition then term "radicalism" is often conflated with (unconstitutional) left and right "extremism". This is appears to be the case especially in the United States.

I agree the article should be moved although some of your rationale is disputable. I do not agree that Radicalism (historical) or Extremism should be moved at this time. Regardless it seems you haven't yet formatted your move request correctly. Oeqtte^[t] 04:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think Radical politics is a better name for the article. Oeqtte^[t] 05:12, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
