Who wants to be a radical? I think you talking of terrorist ..they need to hide so of course they don't announce themselves lol.. These people don't need to hide, Not cowards like a terrorist is..
Radicals who resort to violence are nihilist who do not actually hope to accomplish anything except self-destruction.
There are Rules for Radicals out there for those interested

radical is just a minimizing label for someone who expresses thoughts and beliefs outside the mainstream. If one wishes to change society the spread of idea's almost requires one to form parties if you want to change the system within the system, so I disagree with your post. Radical is what you call a person who has a non popular viewpoint, but you dont want to actually address the merits for better or for worse of what their point is.
radical, leftist or righty, kook , conspiratorial , "fans" ,extreme or extremist , all ad hom's that dismissively attack ones character without having to dirty ones thoughts with critical thinking and examinations of the facts/views presented.
I consider myself a political radical, especially within the system I'm operating in.
Look, at my agency now, me and a couple peers sit around and try to figure out ways to simply frame facts to make welfare sorts of stuff attractive to our conservative voting base here. It is our "families" element of education. We target youth and policy makers too. One of us even gets into public schools to speak
Radicals who hope to accomplish anything they wish to need to cut their hair, get a suit, get some little letters after their name and some authority, and get to work. And follow the Rules.
