Radicalism is a political attitude that seeks fundamental changes to a prevailing social order. The adjective "radical" is derived from the Latin radix (root) and describes the desire to tackle social and political problems "at the root" and to solve them as comprehensively, completely and sustainably as possible.
It‘a funny how radicalism got a negative touch in our society.
