If someone says "far left" or "far right" in America I usually interpret them talking about political culture rather than policy.

I understand that and as a leftist I find it unfortunate that my label is being used to describe people that believe in things I oppose, hence the correction.

I used to refer to people who behave poorly on the left and right as "extremists" but people then assume I oppose socialist policies, rather than me attempting to reign in behavior. I'm not sure there's better words in a contextual language like English.
