This article examines contemporary research and views related to a currently observed rise in extremist views and social actions. The analysis delves into the multifaceted nature of right-wing and left-wing extremism, exploring their ideological foundations, psychological and social influences, and the diverse forms of activism and violence associated with each. The commentary highlights the ideological fluidity and adaptability within extremist movements, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research and early intervention programs to mitigate radicalization. Additionally, the research underscores the critical role of public perception and media representation in shaping narratives around extremism, advocating for responsible media reporting and the development of counter-narratives. Legal and political frameworks are examined, with recommendations for reforms to better address the specific challenges posed by different forms of extremism. The analysis also identifies the intersection of extremism with broader social issues, such as racism, sexism, and economic inequality, and calls for comprehensive policies that promote social cohesion and inclusivity. By integrating these insights into prevention, education, and legal strategies, the article aims to contribute to the discussions related to a more stable and inclusive society that can effectively counter the evolving threat of extremism.
