There is really no such thing as extreme leftism in the United States.
That really is the problem right now. The far right DOES exist, in fact they have begun to discover different flavors of far right extremism. What serves as it's polar opposite in this country is actually more of a moderate group rather than leftists. Those we call "left" in the US are mainly pro-corporate Democrats, with the barest touch of Socialism thrown in, being ever so careful not to have too much.
Of course, when you really begin to analyze things you are forced to conclude that a simple two-sided dialectic is too simplistic to describe the range of potential political philosophies.
