FWIW
communists (for example) have proven themselves pretty dangerous. I think there is horrible language, cruel language, on both of the extremes. The folks who want the capitalists to die, are just as bad as folks who define people they don't agree with as ant-American, and mark them for extermination.

I think we all know the extremes when we see them, and you know them partly because at the extremes the folks believe in "rough justice", without ever (seeming) to realize that rough "justice" has a way of morphing in to a power structure basically killing anyone that doesn't agree with the power structure- and that happens at the extremes of both left and right. I think moderates instinctively realize that, even if they don't always think it out.
