If inequality came down, left extremism and SJWism would likely dissipate naturally. It feels 90% like misdirected economic anger.
Harder to see what might drive right extremism down since it appears to be rooted in identity loss rather than economics.

For the left are you arguing for economic determinism, for the right are you arguing for cultural determinism? Economic determinism is the core of the materialist Marxist theory of history. But this is a raging debate in anthropology press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book

Yes, basically. Given Trump and Bernie base demographics as rough indicators.

I find this question very interesting (not interesting enough to become an anthropologist but). I agree for the right it's the relative loss of position in some cosmological hierarchical structure, and there many parallels in ethnographic studies: sometimes leading to civil war.
