Fair enough.

#Progressivism is far left, and any left wing (or right wing) ideology that supports or excuses extrajudicial violence to a broad degree is most certainly extremism. Typically you will see this in left wing #anarchism or right wing #nationalism.

I call certain ideologies "far" because of their relative isolation from other ideologies. #Nationalism is quite a bit different than #Conservatism, and #Progessivism is quite a bit different than #Liberalism.

If you go online, it looks like the far left is generally identified by opposing #capitalism. Not sure that I agree with that categorization, I don't think it's extreme to oppose #capitalism if you support a #MixedEconomy, but there is a lot of overlap between #progressivism and support for #Marxism, #socialism, #communism, etc. so there's still a lot of overlap between my position and the general public's perception.
