Radicalism and radical politics represent a logical and simultaneously problematic response to social changes and problems. The purpose of this article is to show the difficult positioning of radicalism between entirely legitimate forms of response to social problems and potential or actual national security threats as concerns the use of violent extremism. The author argues that political radicalism is a form of response to social problems which likely leads to big socio-political changes in the event of its success, while on the other hand it faces a serious risk of becoming a national security threat should violence be used. Radicalisation is viewed in this paper as a result on a continuum of the growing radicalisation of goals and the radicalisation of their implementation.
