It depends, if you think 100% pure unadulterated capitalism is a good thing, then "pure" is "good". If you think capitalism needs some checks and bounds then "pure" is "bad".

In the former case, "extreme capitalism" and "pure capitalism" may be two different things. In the latter, they are synonymous.

Essentially... depends on your point of view.

I still fail to see the difference. You seem to be suggesting that "extreme" is being used as a bad replacement for "against my moral views"? That is, that "pure" capitalism is "extreme" capitalism if and when "pure" capitalism is "bad"? What would qualify as "extreme" capitalism in the former?

Did I really just read that discussion? Have to stop wasting time on HN.
