Böcskei Balázs: Preparing for the Times After Liberal Democracy

The control of language shapes thought and political discourse, influencing interpretations of terms like "extreme." The classification of political entities as "extreme" often lacks comprehensive theoretical exploration, particularly regarding democracy-skeptics. This ambiguity is evident in debates surrounding parties like AfD and FPÖ, which are frequently labeled as extreme by mainstream discourse. The article questions the validity of such labels and suggests that not all populist parties should be categorized as extreme, particularly those on the left, which may offer justified political responses.
