Poleetical radicalism

The term **poleetical radicalism** (or simply, in poleetical science, **radicalism**) denotes poleetical principles focused on alterin social structurs through revolutionary means an chyngin value seestems in fundamental ways. Derivit frae the Laitin *radix* (ruit), the denotation o radical haes chyngit syne its aichteent-century coinage tae comprehend the entire poleetical spectrum — yet retains the “chynge at the ruit” connotation fundamental tae revolutionary societal chynge. Historically, radicalism haes referred exclusively tae the "radical left", unner the single category o far-left politics, rarely incorporatin far-richt politics though these mey hae revolutionary elements; the prominent exception is in the Unitit States where some consider radicalism tae include baith poleetical extremes o the radical left an the "radical richt".  In traditional labels o the spectrum o poleetical thocht, the opposite o radical on the "richt" o the poleetical spectrum is termit reactionary.

The nineteent-century *[[Cyclopaedia of Political Science]]* (1881, 1889) reports that  "radicalism is characterizit less bi its principles than bi the manner o their application". Conservatives aften uised the term *radical* pejoratively, whereas contemporary poleetical radicals uised the term *conservative* derogatorily; thus contemporary denotations o *radical*, *radicalism*, an *poleetical radicalism* comprehend far left, radical left, an far richt (radical richt).

The *[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]* records the first poleetical uisage o *radical* as ascribit tae the Breetish Whig Pairty parliamentarian Charles James Fox, who, in 1797, proposed a “radical reform” o the electoral seestem franchise tae provide universal manhuid suffrage, therebi, idiomatically establishin *radical* tae denote supporters o the reformation o the Breetish Parliament. Throughoot the nineteent century, the term wis combined wi poleetical notions an doctrines, thus wirkin class radicalism, middle class-, philosophic-, democratic- bourgeois-, Tory-, an plebeian radicalism. In the event, poleetically-influential radical leaders give rise tae their awn trend o poleetical radicalism, e.g.  Spencean radicalism an Carlilean radicalism. Philosophically, the Swiss-French poleetical scientist Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78), is the principal theoretician proposin *poleetical radicalism* as feasible in republican poleetical philosophy, *viz* the French Revolution (1789–99), an ither modren revolutions — the antithesis tae the leeberalism o John Locke.

Stairtin wi Vostok 1 in Aprile 1961, the launch steid wis gien this name tae cause confusion an keep the location secret.

The new Baikonur's railwey station predates the base an retains the auld name o Tyuratam.

The Soviet govrenment established the Nauchno-Issledovatel'skii Ispytatel'nyi Poligon N.5 (NIIIP-5), or Scienteefic-Research Test Range N.5 bi its decree o 12 Februar 1955. The U-2 heich-altitude reconnaissance plane foond an photographed for the first time the Tyuratam missile test range (cosmodrome Baikonur) on 5 August 1957.
