You are making assumptions. It shows that you dont have any idea of leftism.

The idea of leftism is that people (and animals in most cases) are the same and deserve their needs met.

You can criticize the measures taken to ensure this, especially in capitalist societies where you may have to use force to break capitalist resistance. If all you ever knew is rape, being disallowed to rape can feel repressive. But its still okay to repress it.

And it is okay to disagree on this. Thats why we have both anarchists and marxists. Massively simplified, one party wants to mentally arm the population and push for a self educating, politically mature population. The other one wants to change the system from the top and reeducate the public on cooperation and classless society while forcefully repressing the regressive ideas.

They both actually want the same, communism. The classless, stateless society.

Of course that is an ideal, a utopia that might never be real but the millions of people dying under capitalism every year and the exploited people all over the world, the exploited planet that is starting to kick us out are WAY worse than all that has been seen before. The strongest argument for marxism is the limited time we have before we will just die out (starting with those who already are exploited the most today).

Ah, a "centrist". So how much killing of people is central enough for you? How much genocide?

The idea of "radical = bad" is a trick. It's got zero to do with reality.

Example: depending on where you ask, radical means entirely different things. Read about the overtone window.

That said, radical leftism is about human rights. It is about destroying hierarchies between people. In short it means: everyone gets what they need and does what they can. Or "food, water, housing are inalienable rights."

The radical right is about superiorism. White power, discrimination and ultimately destruction of what they view as "lesser" be it people who look different, have different ancestral history etc.

And you think its smart to compromise between the two? I suggest reading books.

The current center was extremely radical for most of human history. And if you think that centrist politics don't need to be enforced then I would encourage you to pick up a history book.
