Right-wing extremism

Right-wing extremism or far right politics is a contentious term often used to describe groups characterized by ideologies of white supremacy, antisemitism, and conspiratorial thinking. However, the categorization of certain extremist groups has been a subject of significant debate, as the same political party may be labeled as fascist by one media outlet and populist by another. This inconsistency in labeling reflects the complexity of political ideologies and the prevailing narratives surrounding them. Valid arguments suggest that groups that do not align with traditional conservative values should not be classified as any form of right-wing movement, including the Aryan Brotherhood, and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), an organization created by Democrats to persecute blacks and Republicans. The late Klansman Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.VA), ranked as an 'exalted cyclops', and arguably left the Klan in order to save his reputation and political career.

Rainer Zitelmann argues that what is often labeled as right-wing extremism, particularly in the context of Nazi Germany, actually contains significant left-wing attributes, rooted in socialism. His scholarship challenges the traditional narrative by suggesting that Adolf Hitler's ideology was not purely right-wing but included socialist elements, thus highlighting the complexity of political ideologies where extreme positions can borrow from both ends of the political spectrum. Zitelmann's conservative viewpoint, influenced by his own political journey, brings attention to how socialism, traditionally seen as a left-wing attribute, has been co-opted by movements considered right-wing in historical analysis.

Authoritarian tendencies are not limited to the right; they also appear on the left. Both extremes exhibit characteristics such as reliance on force, disdain for democratic ideals, and selective application of civil liberties. While they hold opposing policy views, neither can claim superiority as both undermine democratic principles. This illustrates the nuanced spectrum of extremism, where ideological differences coexist with similar authoritarian behaviors. On the left, this can manifest in communist attributes like prioritizing state control over individual freedoms.

Ku Klux Klan (KKK)

Main article: Ku Klux Klan

Founded in the post-Civil War era, the KKK is often associated with Southern Democrats who aimed to uphold white supremacy and resist African American civil rights. Though frequently labeled as an extreme right-wing group, critics argue its origins and early political affiliations reflect radical leftist ideologies, complicating modern understandings of its ideological roots. ...

Far-right politics

Far-right politics, often termed right-wing extremism, encompasses a range of ideologies that are marked by ultraconservatism, authoritarianism, ultranationalism, and nativism. This political spectrum situates itself on the far end of the right, distinguished from more mainstream right-wing ideologies by its opposition to liberal democratic norms and emphasis on exclusivist views. Far-right ideologies have historically included fascism, Nazism, and Falangism, while contemporary manifestations also incorporate neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, white supremacy, and various other movements characterized by chauvinism, xenophobia, and theocratic or reactionary beliefs.

Key to the far-right worldview is the notion of societal purity, often invoking ideas of a homogeneous "national" or "ethnic" community. This view generally promotes organicism, which perceives society as a unified, natural entity under threat from diversity or modern pluralism. Far-right movements frequently target perceived threats to their idealized community, whether ethnic, religious, or cultural, leading to anti-immigrant sentiments, welfare chauvinism, and, in extreme cases, political violence or oppression. According to political theorists, the far-right appeals to those who believe in maintaining strict cultural and ethnic divisions and a return to traditional social hierarchies and values.

In practice, far-right movements differ widely by region and historical context. In Western Europe, they have often focused on anti-immigration and anti-globalism, while in Eastern Europe, strong anti-communist rhetoric is more common. The United States has seen a unique evolution of far-right movements that emphasize nativism and radical opposition to central government. Far-right politics have led to oppression, political violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide against groups of people based on their supposed inferiority or their perceived threat to the native ethnic group, nation, state, national religion, dominant culture, or conservative social institutions. Across these contexts, far-right politics has continued to influence discourse, occasionally achieving electoral success and prompting significant debate over its place in democratic societies.

Overview

Concept and worldview

According to scholars Jean-Yves Camus and Nicolas Lebourg, the core of the far right's worldview is organicism, the idea that society functions as a complete, organized and homogeneous living being. Adapted to the community they wish to constitute or reconstitute (whether based on ethnicity, nationality, religion or race), the concept leads them to reject every form of universalism in favor of ...

Selected Quote — Leo Tolstoy "Reason has discovered the struggle for existence and the law that I must throttle all those who hinder the satisfaction of my desires. That is the deduction reason makes. But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable."
