This is a false dichotomy and huge oversimplification.

Another one. Who defines what's moderate and what's extreme? Completely rejecting slavering was called extreme, as universal suffrage was.

The current economical system is destroying the planet and hence completely unsustainable. We need radical changes to survive.

Go read a history book. Rejecting slavery wasn't extreme, in fact, America fought a civil war in no small part due to it. Something with half the support of a country is not extreme.

Exactly. It is more or less the oversimplification Americans thinking about socialism do.

You are taking my human sentences and try to work with them like code. This conversation makes no sense. There is even an obvious nitpick counter to your slavery example (are/have been) but you are not interested in what I originally said anyway.
