Society is a form of organization of individuals united by common values and institutions. Each member of society is a living person who has his own desires and needs, his own social roles. For each person, the values shared by the public majority are relevant to one degree or another, and this relevance depends on a variety of factors: external and internal, economic and ideological, personal success in life, and the psychological state of the individual.
You cannot find two absolutely identical people, a person as a member of society is an individual set of values, needs and desires formed in the process of socialization. Society must immanently identify the common desires and ideals of people and create conditions for their implementation.
So, the vast majority of citizens without mental disorders realize the value of human life, constructive forms of relationships between people, security, at least the minimum amount of material we alth. That is why institutions such as the army, the police, the institutions of family and marriage are the most stable in society.
But things are much more complicated with people's political leanings. Bodies activitiesthe authorities and the political regime are always satisfied with that part of society that is provided with material, social benefits and other privileges. Those members of society who are not satisfied with the existing regime for some reason often become adherents of radical views.
Political radicalism is a theoretical category denoting a radical reformist mood of a certain part of society, a strong dissatisfaction with the existing order and a desire to destroy it, not always supported by a clearly formulated viable (not utopian) concept of a new order.
There is no ideal society that can satisfy the needs of each of its members, so political radicalism is not a rare inconvenience, but a constant political reality.
Political radicalism becomes a significant factor only when reformist sentiments capture large social groups, when entire layers and strata of society are dissatisfied with the existing order. The relevance of the existing regime for a particular society, therefore, is determined by the scale of the spread of radical sentiments in it.
Radicalism in Russia in recent years has been exacerbated by some acts of activity of the central authorities. An example of popular discontent that is significant for society and the state was the Russian March on November 4, 2012, when hundreds of Russian people took to the streets and protested against the well-knownpolicies of the central government and publicized repeated acts of misconduct by citizens of some other nationalities could not even interfere with the law enforcement authorities
Political radicalism, of course, is a danger to the existing system, indicating its obsolescence and inadequacy to the current needs of society. But at the same time, political radicalism is a guideline for the development of society. If you listen to radical citizens, you can learn about the most important tasks that cannot be solved by existing methods, the solution of which requires appropriate reforms.
