Far Right


Far-right politics are right-wing politics further on the right of the left-right spectrum than the standard political right.

Far-right politics often involve a focus on tradition, real or imagined, as opposed to policies and customs that are regarded as reflective of modernism. Many far-right ideologies have a disregard or a disdain for egalitarianism, even if they do not always express overt support for social hierarchy, elements of social conservatism and opposition to most forms of liberalism and socialism.

The term is commonly used to describe right-wing populist ideologies which is known for its espousal of extreme nationalism and its opposition to immigration, as well as its advocacy of Nazism,neo-Nazism, fascism, neo-fascism and other ideologies or organizations that feature extreme nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, racist, or reactionary views, which can lead to oppression and violence against groups of people based on their supposed inferiority, or their perceived threat to the nation, state or ultraconservative traditional social institutions.

The term "far-right" has been used to describe right-wing populist ideologies which is known for its opposition to immigration and its espousal of nationalism, in addition to being applied to neo-fascists and Neo-Nazis. Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform in London, distinguished between right-wing nationalist parties which are often described as "far-right", such as the National Front in France, and fascism. Major elements of fascism have clearly been deemed far-right, such as its belief that supposedly superior people have the right to dominate society while allegedly inferior elements should be purged from it, and—in the case of Nazismgenocide should be committed against people who are deemed inferior.
