Of course, with "radical" I mean the people most attached to the goals and ideas of the group, a minority that, nonetheless, leads the group and occupies the most important role.
I also share the opinion that the majority of people are sheep, in a subconscious and almost involuntary way, that is why they need a minority to guide them.
Agreed. I think even I have been a little brainwashed by all the talk about radicalization and stuff. I get almost like Nazi or ISIS associations when I hear the word radical. But you are correct. I am glad you use radical in its supposed meaning again:)
