the debate of ideology I

ill think through this as i write so bear with me if i sound muddled. radicalism appears to be highly appealing as ideologies go. it appeals to the youth. why it appeals to the youth and whether there is any clear mapping from kind of ideology to the kind of youth is a very complicated question. worse, its so complicated that the only subject that can deal with it is sociology. the discipline without any clear theoretical structure other than good english. so i wont go there. partly because i loath sociology. those guys always seem to know better english than i do. and i spent oodles of my father's money in a public school you know. returning to radicalism. what are the major radical lines of thought on offer? (research this). anarchism,fascism,communism. ideology, always has views. More radical ideologies just impose those views more forcefully than liberal ideologies. is that the only difference or there is fundamental difference between the views themselves. not being sociologists, we are at liberty to think a little mathematically here, if i may.
