The "extremist" part of Right wing "extremist" is meaningless. All reactionary politics are extreme, whether they take the active form of stochastic terror or they take the passive form of social murder (as defined by Engels in 1845, see below). The plausible deniability employed by reactionaries as camouflage among jokes is extremely transparent to anyone familiar enough with it.
