I think the point is that if you go extreme enough on any part of the spectrum/plot/whatever, you're going to be supportive of generally unpalatable/harmful ideology.

    Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying is bullshit

    Generally, on one extreme you have a distopian nightmare, on the other extreme you have something impractical, but would be great if it worked

    And willingness to do violence to achieve political goals is another axis. On one extreme, you use violence against everyone not part of your group. On the other, even the slightest property damage or inconvenience to others is unacceptable

    Those aren't the same thing. One option is horrible, the other is impractical, but wouldn't it be nice if it worked?
