From what we currently know it is their philosophy that make the extremist faction extreme rather than the specific things they do. The Mamono/Demon Lord has been in power for around a thousand years, and has been content with slowly building up power, monsterizing humanity and expanding the realm bit by bit through fairly nonaggressive means a majority of the time. Most monsters who follow her philosophy take no interest in monsterizing women after they get themselves a husband (beyond doing it in self defense).

The extremists are different in that regard. Even after getting a husband they regard it as their duty to continue to monsterize women and expand monster influence. The demon race in particular see it as a moral imperative to save humanity by converting them all more quickly.

Druella notably may technically be an extremist (because she is the sort to keep monsterizing after getting a husband) but her large scale actions (taking over Lescatie) were actually under orders from her mother (who regarded how many monsters were being slain by Lescatie-produced heroes as a serious problem warranting an aggressive action). On her own Druella seems more willing to bide her time than the rest of the radical faction, which may also be why the radicals aren't accomplishing as much as they'd like to (i.e. they don't have Druella and her forces backing them).

As for why other monsters don't stop the radical faction, its because they technically aren't going against the Mamono Lord enough to warrant them being constrained (i.e. their efforts to speed up converting the world aren't doing enough to cause any harm to her plans). Notably most monsters don't call those of the radical faction "radicals" but rather they call them "progressives." "Radicals" is mainly what they are called by humans.

Though as explained in one of the answers here [] some monsters do dislike the radical faction (namely young, unmarried monsters), arguing that if their crusades get too successful than future candidates for husbands will decrease due to a lack of human women.
