Radical politics

Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution or radical reform. The process of adopting radical views is termed radicalisation.

The word radical derives from the radix "root" & rādīcālis "of or pertaining to the root, radical". Historically, political use of the term intended exclusively to a hit of progressive electoral reformism, requested as Radicalism, that had developed in Europe during the 18th & 19th centuries. However, the denotation has changed since its 18th century coinage to comprehend the entire political spectrum, though retaining the connotation of "change at the root".

Positions

The common feature to any radical political forms is a view that some fundamental conform is invited of the status quo. For an grouping of anti-capitalist forms, this manifests in anti-establishment reactions to contemporary neoliberal regimes.

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes the radical concept of ideology to be that:

This conception reflects "a consensus among radicals of any stripes on the role of law as a dissembling force to safeguard the unjust relations of the status quo." This radical critique of ideology is especially prominent within post-leftism. In addressing particular issues, some radical politics may completely forgo any overarching ideological plan.
