I kinda wonder how the anti-capitalist extremists would compare to the pro-capitalist extremists we have to deal with here in the US.
I have a very clear set of mind when it comes to politics.
I listen! I am tolerant, I want to be convinced by the better argument, living in a republic I want to live up to the standards on which it was created and integrate them into my way of life.
This resulted in me being a very pragmatic person who doesn`t follow one specific ideology but who votes for what is the most rational and the most convincing without demonising my oponents.
And I like my "middle way".
I cannot stand extremists from any political fraktion, there is hardly anything I hate as much as a person who constantly tries to mold his ideology and convictions into a current political even with the intention of letting it appear as the perfect solution and thereby ignoring the effects it could have off the blue print within reality.
First off all a extremist to me, is a person who has lost the conection with reality and desperatly holds to delusions which in reality could have dangerous effects.
To me this contradicts the values represented in a republic, which is one of the main reason why approve of the banning of extremist groups and their exclusion from the democratic debate.
