Ah yes, get rid of extremism with different extremism. I think we've been there already. Spoiler: Didnt work.
What's extremism?
Extremism is "the quality or state of being extreme" or "the advocacy of extreme measures or views".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremism
Or as i know it with these regimes both left or right: those that oppose and do not belive in our thing must be gotten rid of. I would say that is the extreme here to me. Thats what both communists and nazis did in Europe, in my country, in my city. And i want none of it to come back. Iam honestly terrified where is this world headding again.

Ah so you're an imperialist
I myself consider imperialists to be extremists, their global oppression is certainly very extreme
Communists just want to have the fruits of their labor not be stolen, very normal
