Category talk:Extremism

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This word is so vague a descriptor that it tells you more about what the people labeling a movement or ideology "extremist" think than the actual movement. We already deleted the "political insanity" and related categories. I recommend deleting this one too. Carthage (talk) 01:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

This category is different from 'political insanity' whose reference point is ambiguous. The 'Extremism' category should only be used in a few categories or articles that are universally considered extremism, such as 'far-right politics', 'far-left politics', and 'Islamic extremism'. It is not used simply for racist or radical politicians or groups. Umaru16 (talk) 03:22, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
