Far-right politics
Far-right politics are politics that are farther to the right on the political spectrum than the usual political right.[1] The term is often used to mean Nazism,[2] neo-Nazism, fascism and other organizations that have reactionary views.
Its ideological foundations are principally based on extreme nationalism, anti-immigration, authoritarianism, opposition to democracy and the promotion of traditional values. It often wants to return to a past era. [3]
Features
Saying that superior people should have greater rights than inferior people is often associated with the far right,[4] which has historically favored a society that believes in superior minority over inferior masses.[4]
Examples
Fascism is a far-right political ideology[5] that has led to genocide.
United States
In the United States, the term "hard right" has been used to describe some groups such as the Tea Party and the Patriot movements.[6]
