Extremism flourishes in situations where the norms of political life breakdown. It flourishes - as does populism - if you don't seek to incorporate as many people as possible within your political projects. It flourishes if the institutions of civic society are delegitimized.
If you want to counter extremism then build hegemonic political projects that aim at inclusivity, reducing inequality (tax the rich until they squeak), and giving people an investment in their own future.
There is absolutely zero chance you're going to eradicate extremism completely. It isn't possible. But you can confine it to the margins by building more equal societies that emphasize the things that unite us, not the things that divide us.
do you think this will be possible in the US now given the President and Administration are actively pursuing extremism to establish their own dominance?
I don't know. I didn't think Trump could win, so I'm not in a position to make predictions!
as I understand it, this is one of the main motivations for antifa in the US. That they've run out of time to use other those other approaches. I see antifa as arising because the mainstream isn't doing the things you suggest.
I object slightly to your choice of the word "hegemony", as it implies domination of one group over another. By taxing the rich until they squeak, it is like admitting that true power lies in money. It may be best if people realize political truths by themselves and not by force.
