    That is a better way of putting it, thanks. Not just outside the status quo but pushing to change it. I still think it carries a milder connotation than neo-Nazis or Anarchists and different language should be used for the fringe than just further-than-mainstream politics.

      I don’t know many honest people for whom the current system is working great, so I’d warrant that not being some kind of radical might be the more extreme position

        You wouldn’t be the first to float some form of “centrism is an extreme position” and I can’t say I disagree.
