Left, Right, Center, And The Politics of Extremist

Any extremist politics is what it is: Extremist (far right, left, and center). Extremist politics usually is considered a negative politics. It does not matter whose politics it is. The politics of left, right, center, or the politics of any other name could be extremist. If it is extremist, it is negative..... a prevailing presumption. However, extremist politics can be positive as well as negative. What will, and could make an extremist politics positive or negative will depend on the definitions, criteria, moral, and ethical parameters surrounding the politics of extremist. It is important to critique definitions, criteria, moral, and ethical parameters as well. The moral and ethical definitions and criteria in of themselves may not be morally and ethically defensible.

As general election nears there will be maneuvering from the right, left, and the so called the center. In practical sense, center means a compromised position (mixer of left and right). There is no pure and almighty left, right, and center politics. If it is, it will not be called politics.

Let us hope that the politics of left, right, as well as of center does not become corrupt and Karlovian, as a starter. Let us hope that the process of deliberation, and the system of checks and balance will guide the human frailty from becoming corrupt and Karlovian. The susceptibility of electorates to a corrupt and Karlovian politics in of itself is very telling about the electorates frailty.

A time to ponder......................
