as for extremism, i associate that term with static polarization and a kind of mental rigidity, one that doesn't permit self-examination and re-evaluation of one's position on an issue. refusal to think about the issue beyond a certain point. for me, it is different from commitment and it is negative.
for the other thing, the positive change-making thing you're talking about, i like the word radical. it conjures up those crazy unpaired electrons that go around getting involved in chemical reactions.
but that's just me, and i like your way of thinking about being extreme. :)
