Extremism is a concept used to describe religious, social or political belief systems that exist substantially outside of belief systems more broadly accepted in society (i.e., “mainstream” beliefs). Extreme ideologies often seek radical changes in the nature of government, religion or society. Extremism can also be used to refer to the radical wings of broader movements, such as the talmudic jews or the AntiFa. Not every extremist movement is “bad”, the press refers to fasc8sts as "extremists" almost constantly, but most extremist movements exist outside of the mainstream because many of their views or tactics are objectionable.
