Talk:Extremism
The article defines extremism as views that are "well outside the mainstream, with connotations of being dangerously so," but this fails to address a distinction made by another article that links here, Fringe, which states "In countries where these groups have a significant amount of support they stop being 'fringe' and become 'extremists.'" For example, most of us would consider the Nazis extremists, but they ceased being fringe once they took power in Germany and saturated German society (as well as, to some extent, society in other places they succeeded in conquering) with their ideology. Using Google's definitions, I'm editing the definition to being far from the center of a given political spectrum. The One They Call Mars (talk) 20:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
