I generally agree, however whether something is reasonable or just has little to do with deviation from the norm. It's linguistic gymnastics, really. Marxism is extreme in the sense that it is a firmly Leftist position in a world dominated by Capital, but is perfectly reasonable at the same time.

I dunno, more of a monologue than a response, but I hope it cleared up my intent.

For sure, I do think this is worth pushing back on though. If we agree that the world capitalism built is itself extreme then, a firmly Leftist ideology is perhaps something we should be striving for to get away from the state we currently find ourselves in.
