Quoting limited to 5 levels deep
Radical left = Alt Left?
The alt left as a word does not exist.
Alright, fine. It doesn't. But there are certain leftists out there who I think take things too far.
What does that even mean.

Here is an example of political correctness being too far.

Political correctness is not inherently leftist, nor would I say a politically correct bourgeosie telling a petit bourgeosie/possibly another capitalist how to manage buisness to be leftist in anyway.

A radical leftist is much more likely to do this kind of behavior than an alt rightist, as they like to take "equality" to the extreme.

Isn't that just a point of perspective? What a moderate would call extreme a radical would call just or right.

As a whole though, that person would be considered a radical leftist when compared to the rest of the population.

Is that a bad thing? Moderation isn't an objectively good thing.

It could be. The original point I made was extremists take things too far sometimes.

And my point is that it is possible that some do not take it far enough. Extremes are not always bad and what is extreme is also a matter of perspective.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
