From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | |||

For opposition to all forms of government, social hierarchy or authority, see Anarchism. For other meanings see also radical, extremism, far-right and far-left. Radicalism as a political movement should be distinguished from the modern American usage of radical merely to denote political extremes of right or left. | |||
The term Radical (from the Latin radix meaning root) was used during the late 18th century for proponents of the Radical Movement. It later become a general term for those favoring or seeking political reforms which include dramatic changes to the social order. Historically, early radical aims of liberty and electoral reform in Great Britain widened with the American Revolution and French Revolution so that some radicals sought republicanism, abolition of titles, redistribution of property and freedom of the press. Initially identifying itself as a far left party opposed to the liberal Orleanists, the Legitimists and the Bonapartists in France in the nineteenth century, the Republican, Radical and Radical‐Socialist Party progressively became the most important party of the Third Republic (1871 – 1940). As historical Radicalism became absorbed in the development of political liberalism, in the later 19th century in both the United Kingdom and continental Europe the term Radical came to denote a progressive liberal ideology. | |||
In my opinion, racalism has been existing ever since the creation of plants,animal,reptiels etc have been there. | |||
It is about caring others,voicing out for oppressed and marginalized. | |||
How one cares for and other does not. Does someone acquire it by learning or you inherite it by nature or you realize and answer your inner call sooner or later. I would say Eric Shragge is someone who answered the call early when he was sixteen, .It is like other feelings such as love,selfish etc | |||
I notice in wikipedia,Talking about radicalism, in 1800'S it started becoming popular the word radicalism but the action has been there ever since the ceration. | |||
But the difference after 1800s and before 1800s though in reality not much differece in civilization only in writings and preaching not in action. The power you have what are all about,even the meaning is different from what the books say, it could be twisted as ones tongue could be so long the power is in your hand. | |||
In early days, people had opposed the invasion,the power put you in a corner and you are not able to come out of it. That created low class people. It is because there were radical who opposed the invasion and they became more oppressed and not able to live like other co citizens. | |||
The radicals were oppressed. If they were no radicals there would not be indegineous people in the world. | |||
