Actually, it sounds more like you're dismissing a standard political spectrum model to make communism sound less extreme than it is. Would you feel better if I used the word 'radical' rather than 'extreme'?

So extreme and radical to you are just “the further away an ideology is from our current form of capitalism, the more extreme it is” then?

[–] DarthJon@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, extreme is the further away an ideology is from centrist/moderate ideologies. At one end of the spectrum is fascism, at the other is communism.

And who gets to dictate what defines a centrist or moderate ideology?

Moderate communists.
