'''Radical Centrism''', shortened to '''RadCent''' is a term used to describe any ideology which advocates for radical change and measures, while neither aligning or being discernible as Left-wing or Right-Wing (also neither as Libertarian or Authoritarian). Radical Centrism can be used to represent Syncretism, although Syncretic Politics usually reject the political dichotomy entirely while RadCent aligns in the middle of it.

The essence of Radical Centrism can be described as believing that all ideologies (usually within the status quo of course) have "some good ideas" and therefore it is the job of a good state to pick out the good ideas and not pick the bad ones from the various ideologies in a vein that balances into the centre.
