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.
