I would also state that many extremists are also used by those who would lead them.
On a truly extreme end we could examine IS founder Abu Bakhr Al-Baghdadi. Who definitely took advantage of the poor and disenfranchised to build ISIS.
While on a more civil front you have Richard Spencer the now notrious leader of the now deceased alt-right.

I could consider, let's say, NOT lining up the bourgeois (hey, only those aged 0-199) against a wall and shooting them with a machinegun to be a sign of extreme moderation - to the point of a suspect of counter-revolutionary activities, actually.
Some other ones (the pig-dog lackeys of the imperialistic capitalism) could say that a progressive income tax is a policy only a kid-eating, liberty-raping commie extremist would support.
Lacking a meaningful and cogent definition of "moderate" and "extremist" that isn't strictly dependant on the "average" political opinion in that place and in that moment, the OP makes very little sense.

The Unabomber was very intelligent, but the people who run the Sea Shepherd probably aren't. Right-wing extremists range from well read (Giovanni Gentile) to never having picked up a book if it would save their life (your usual skinhead). It varies like everything else.Western Vale Confederacy wrote:Julius Evola, that’s all you and I need to know.
He was just a right-wing theosophist who happened to be in the right place and time to be remotely relevant in the 20th century. There was nothing particularly exceptional about him.

Could've picked a better person to compare with Chomsky than Benjamin "Arabs live in open sewage" Shapiro. To my knowledge, nothing that pseudo-intellectual hack says is particularly profound.I would also state that many extremists are also used by those who would lead them.
Couldn't we just as easily say moderates are used by those who seek to preserve the status quo?On a truly extreme end we could examine IS founder Abu Bakhr Al-Baghdadi. Who definitely took advantage of the poor and disenfranchised to build ISIS.

The alt-right is still around. I don't see how it is "deceased".

Haaaaaaa deceased means dead. Also how does beong a centrist want to preserve the staus quo? I have shared nothing on my personal beliefs which puts you at very little liberty to male such a claim. Also Chomsky amd Shapiro are equally conservative and socialost and Chomsky if we are being honest like Shapiro are both down right idiots half the time...But that my perspective.

Calling Noam "father of modern linguistics" Chomsky stupid is such a bad take that my brain can not possibly compute. He's a professor at MIT ffs.
You disagree with him, that's not a sign of his lack of intelligence.
