  1.  @SkyForceOne2  : Unless they are advocating for free market and laissez-faire economics and limited government, they have nothing to do with Far-Right.

  2.  @SkyForceOne2  : I know that Germany doesn't have a mainstream Far-Right political movement. If they would, it would look like what Javier Milei in Argentina is doing and advocating for.

  3.  @SkyForceOne2  : Again, unless they are advocating for free market and laissez-faire economics and limited government, they have nothing to do with Far-Right.

  4.  @SkyForceOne2  "stop trying so hopelessly to re-define what "far right" is." It is you people who are re-defining these terms. The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the collective. Left-wing beliefs based on the idea that society is best served with an expanded role for the collective, for the benefit of the in-group (collectivism). Meanwhile people on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

  5.  @SkyForceOne2  "fascism is far right," Wrong. Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, and marxism. The means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism. Fascism was an outgrowth of Sorelian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, Fascism comes from a belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society. It cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.

  7. There is no mainstream Far-Right political party in whole Europe.

  8. What "far right" parties?

  9. What Far-Right? Doesn't exist.

  10.  @EA-js1me  "Ultranationalism, irredentism, isolationism, statism, militarism, authoritarianism, conspiracy theories like anti-vax, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and “Christian values” whatever that means… but no, definitely not far-right." Only isolationism is a Far-Right characteristics out of the things you mentioned btw.

  11.  @QabilAGhor  : Nope, and there is no Far-Right in France to begin with.

  12. Nothing to do with Far-Right whatsoever. Also Nazis were Far-Left socialists.

  13.  @RedXlV  : The very definition of Far-Right is Liberalism, hun.
    1
  14.  @bulkax303  "Hoeke is literally a fascist," so a Far-Left socialist then, advocating for revolutionary National Syndicalism?
    1
  15. @Teemustaja : "What do you think is the far-right?" Liberalism, by definition.
    1
  16.  @bulkax303  "You know that fascism is third position?" Third position as it rejected Marxist interpretation of socialism and Capitalism. They were still socialists which puts them to the Far-Left.
    1
  17. @Teemustaja "Liberalism is not far-right. " Wrong. By definition it is, as it advocates for a Night-watchman state i.e. Minarchism.
    1
  18. @Teemustaja "Consider this; Socio-economic political compass does not work. " True, because the spectrum is only about economics and politics. Nothing to do with social issues as they have their own scale from Progressive to Conservative.
    1
  19. @Teemustaja "Ideologies such as fascism is considered far-right not because of socio-economic factors but because of historical connections. " Fascism is adjacent to Marxism. It was a socialist ideology and strictly anti-capitalist. It has nothing to do with Right wing of any kind.
    1
  20. @Teemustaja "Fascism is authoritarian centre right if you have to choose where to put it. " Wrong. Fascism was totalitarian Far-Left ideology.
    1
  21. @Teemustaja "I notice you keep mixing Anarchist, Liberal and Libertarian ideas with what is generally thought of as far-right. " Wrong. Liberalism is what some people mistakenly call "Libertarian", and original Libertarianism was a socialist movement and coined by a French Communist, Joseph Déjacque. Also again, Anarchism is at both ends of the spectrum.

  22. @Teemustaja " I genuinely think they don't know what fascism is." Luckily I can educate people about Fascism; it was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, and marxism. The means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism. Fascism was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself.

  23.  @bulkax303  "  He was labeled a fascist by a German court, " German court has no clue what they are talking about then, and they should be replaced.

  24.  @bulkax303  : They aren't experts at all, and I trust the actual Italian historians more when it comes to Fascism, which wasn't even a thing in Germany.

  25.  @bulkax303  : We cannot argue when you have no clue what you are talking about. Germany had National Socialism. Italy had Fascism. They were two fundamentally different 3rd position ideologies.

  26.  @bulkax303  : And you are still wrong. Germany had nothing to do with Fascism. They had National Socialism. Italy had Fascism. Here are the sources, go and read; [01] "La Dottrina Del Fascismo / the Doctrine of Fascism", by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile [02] "Che cosa è il Fascismo: Discorsi e polemiche / Origins and Doctrine of Fascism", by Giovanni Gentile [03] "the Philosophy of Fascism", by Mario Palmieri [04] "Fascism: An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice", by Renzo De Felice [05] "Mussolini's Intellectuals", by A.

  27.  @bulkax303  "so unless you have a reliable source stating that Germany was specifically not fascist then you are weong" Also here is Goebbels himself saying the same thing; "One might say that Fascism has reacted upon the creative life of the Italian people somewhat like sterilization. It is, after all, nothing like National Socialism. While the latter goes down to the roots, Fascism is only a superficial thing. That is regrettable, but one must recognize it clearly. National Socialism is really a way of life." - The Goebbels Diaries

  28.  @bulkax303  "then how come everyone except the ones you listed recognize it as a fascist state?" They don't know or cannot understand history.
    1
  29.  @bulkax303  "Because its definition got looser and its now recognized as a ultranationalist totalitarian state. " That is not the definition of Fascism. That is just one characteristic of a totalitarian/dictatorial regime. While Fascism had that one characteristic, so did many other such ideologies, including Stalinism.

  30.  @bulkax303  "Seriously, is there some kind of great misunderstanding that makes people believe there was fascism outside of Italy?" Yes. It's called propaganda and not reading basic WW2 era history.

  31. There is no Far-Right in Germany, nor in Ukraine nor in Israel.
    1
  32.  @basedness5205  "You know what far-right would be? Advocating for a mass genocide, ethnic cleansing, throwing LGBT community into prison, creating a violent militia... " Wrong. That would still be on the Far-Left. Not everyone on the Left is in favor of progressivism after all. Now what the Far-Right would be, look no further than Javier Milei.

  33.  @asdv-gm4yy  : SS and the NSDAP in general were Far-Left socialists, hun.

  34. ... so they are Far-Left then. Interesting.
    1
  35.  @ElPommbär  : Wrong. National Socialism was a totalitarian Far-Left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on ethnonationalism. Nothing to do with Right wing of any kind.
    1
  36.  @ElPommbär  "The NSDAP is considered a far right party ... There are some other speculations, but the NSDAP is sorted as far right, if you like it or not " Except they aren't, and whoever considers them as such has not read WW2 era history.
    1
  37.  @ElPommbär  "It has conservative views both economically and socially" They had some conservative social values, sure. However conservatism and progressivism have nothing to do with the political left/right spectrum. Economically they were textbook socialists, with their centralized and planned economy, which was almost identical to the USSR under Stalin.

  38. You are joking, right? You do know that Li Anderson is openly a Marxist, right? So yes, they most certainly are at least against Capitalism and in favor of socialism.

  39. @Teemustaja : They are not Far-Right by any means.
    1
  40. @Teemustaja " but far-right also attaches authoritarian and identity elements to it." Wrong. They do not. On the contrary, people on the Far-Right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.
    1
  41. @Teemustaja "Far-right believes in a totalitarian government that owns all aspects of a nation, including people." Wrong. That is the Far-Left as you can see from every single one-party socialist dictatorships and from collectivism in general. Meanwhile people on the (Far) right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized as stated above.

  42. @Teemustaja "That state is supposed to protect the collective identity of the nation by all means." Right wing doesn't subscribe to Collectivism. That is on the Left.
    1
  43. @Teemustaja "What you are describing is Anarchism, and is not bolted on right or left wing axis." While Anarchism is at both ends of the spectrum (Left; Communism / Right; Anarcho-Capitalism), I was describing Liberalism.

  44. @Teemustaja "Source: Main kampf, Giovanni Gentile, Sinimusta liike, Golden Dawn, Mussolinis essays" Both Hitler and Mussolini self-identified as socialists, Giovanni Gentile also, who was the philosopher behind Mussolini's Fascism. I can give you more sources; Fascism; - "La Dottrina Del Fascismo / the Doctrine of Fascism", by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile - "Che cosa è il Fascismo: Discorsi e polemiche / Origins and Doctrine of Fascism", by Giovanni Gentile - "the Philosophy of Fascism", by Mario Palmieri - "Fascism: An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice", by Renzo De Felice - "Mussolini's Intellectuals", by A.

  45. "to extreme right fasc ists" Doesn't exist in Finland nor in reality. Extreme right would be Anarcho-Capita lism and fascists were far-left socia lists.

  46. Nothing to do with Far-Right.

  47. There is no Fascism in your country, and they were Far-Left socialists anyways.

  48. There is a difference between "don't want" and "cannot" ... the latter is reality.

  49. There is no Far-Right in France to begin with.

  50.  @meretricioussimp7759  "fascists are farright by definition. learn your basics" Wrong. Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel. You just have no clue what you are talking about.
