Hmm...
Okay, I'll shift gears a little bit. As a socialist, even a democratic one, you embrace radicalism and rapid progressive change in order to realize your final society.
I think this has been moderated by the conservative/liberal elements of our Western democracies. As I said before, it's why Western socialists decided to allow the ballot box to make the final decision. But, this goal of a progress towards a final society is something which is implicitly extreme in the notion of socialism.
