So what would you call extremist about the extremist socialists?
Someone who supports extreme(ie violent) actions to enact change.
I don't support extreme actions to enact change, I want to enact change which is met with violence, to which I respond. Look at Allende in Chile being murdered and a Democratic peaceful movement being turned into fascist dictatorship. Look at Mosaddeq in Iran. There are many such cases.
The system in which we live is already violent. Millions of people are killed needlessly every year by lack of healthcare, poor nutrition and mental health crises, even in developed countries. US economics kic sanctions have been found to kill half a million people yearly for the past 30 years, more than the worldwide deaths due to war during the same period. Ending this violence is the peaceful alternative.
