Far right, '''extreme right''', '''ultra-right''', or '''radical right''' are terms used to discuss the Qualitative or Quantitive position a group or person occupies within a Political Spectrum . The terms ''far right'' and '' Far Left '' are often used to imply that someone is an Extremist . The terms are used by many political commentators to discuss political groups, movements, and political parties that are difficult to classify within conventional Right-wing Politics . The terms ''extreme right'' or ''ultra right'' are used by some scholars to discuss only those right-wing political groups that step outside the boundaries of traditional electoral politics. This generally includes the revolutionary right, militant racial supremacists and religious extremists, Fascists , Neo-fascists , Nazis , and Neo-Nazis ."Fascism.", The American Heritage® New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005 In this usage, the terms are distinct from other forms of right-wing politics such as the less-militant sectors of the far right, right-wing Populists and the more traditional Conservatives .Betz & Immerfall 1998; Betz 1994; Durham 2000; Durham 2002; Hainsworth 2000; Mudde 2000 The term ''far right'' has been used by scholars in at least three somewhat conflicting ways: #Reform-oriented right-wing movements or rightist factions of conservative political parties. These are sometimes called the dissident right, activist right, or right-wing populism. They are positioned between traditional conservatives and the extreme right. These participants are found outside mainstream electoral politics, but they generally produce a movement of reform rather than revolution. # Neo-fascists and Neo-Nazis are usually labeled extreme right or ultra right. Such groups are generally revolutionary in character rather than reformist. Neo-Nazi and Neo-fascist literally means "new Nazi" and "new fascist", implying that they are from the period following World War II . #The whole range of right-wing politics, from the borders of conservatism out to the far reaches of the extreme right. These categories are not universally accepted, and other uses exist, making comparative use of the term complicated. USAGE See Also: Left-Right politics The term ''far right'' is usually rejected by right-wing political parties that consider themselves mainstream. Far right supporters are often strong advocates for forcibly intervening in society in order to protect or promote values that are viewed as traditional. This is in contrast to supporters of Left-wing Politics , who advocate intervention in favor of Egalitarianism , and give little or no authority to tradition. Both stand in contrast also to less interventionist positions such as mainstream Conservatism and Liberalism , Anarchism and Libertarianism . The political terms ''left'' and ''right'' arose during the French Revolution , and the original meaning of ''far right'' was the ''throne-and-altar'' Reactionaries such as Joseph De Maistre and Louis De Bonald . They rejected Democracy , liberalism and Individualism , and were in favour of an authoritarian Monarchical government. They further proclaimed the submission of the individual to the so-called "natural associations" (families, regions, professions, nations, etc.). For them, humans should obey their superiors (the father in the family, the king in the state, the Pope in the Church) on earth because their authority is the mirror of the authority of God in the universe. The original French meaning of ''far right'' is specific to a Roman Catholic nation, and more specifically to a Gallican society in which church and state were closely tied to one another. In this context, the term can be expanded to include the kind of Caesaropapism that occasionally existed in some Eastern Orthodox kingdoms. This specific interpretation of the term ''far right'' especially lost favor in the decades following the Revolutions Of 1848 , as a return to the Ancien Régime became increasingly implausible. By the reign of Pope Pius XI , this interpretation of ''far right'' had essentially become anachronistic even in conservative Catholic circles. In the 2000s, the term ''far right'' is usually applied to those who support Authoritarianism and policies that are considered ''right'' rather than ''left''. In regions and nations that have no recent history of monarchy, such as Central America (discounting the Pre-Columbian era), Switzerland , and the United States , far-right politics is rarely monarchist, and usually advocates harsher law enforcement, particularly against disfavored groups, and sometimes Fascist or Military Dictatorship . The term ''far right'' also embraces extreme Nationalism , and sometimes evokes a ''pure'' ideal of the nation, often defined by Race . They may advocate the expansion or restructuring of existing state borders to achieve an ideal nation, often to the point of embracing War and Imperialism . In English-speaking nations, this nationalism is often descended from militant aspects of British New Imperialism . Radical Right-wing Populism is a far right ideology that accepts representative democracy, but criticizes supposed political elites and appeals to Ethno-nationalism . Fascism is generally, but not universally, classified as a far-right ideology. However, right-wing libertarian scholars such as F. A. Hayek and Ludwig Von Mises are noteworthy dissenters from that view. Both have labeled it Far Left , based on a view of the political spectrum that equates ''left'' with support for increased government power and "right" with opposition to the same. However, some Miseans, such as Murray Rothbard put fascism on the right. Ideologies such as Nazism , National Bolshevism , Third Position , National-Anarchism and other ''national-revolutionary'' ideologies — such as those of Juan Peron in Argentina , Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt , the Baath in Syria and Iraq — are often regarded as far right, but they transcend standard political boundaries. Concern with ecology and calls for Full Employment and other concerns common on the left are sometimes found in the far right. Populism , Social Unrest , Violence , and Revolution can also be found in both the far right and far left. On one hand, these movements are Anti-communist , but they often recruit among the lower and middle-classes, and when in power, have often Nationalized industries and property, especially that owned by foreigners or by members of ethnicities not defined by them as part of their nation. In contrast, the term "far right" has been used for certain "free market dictatorships", such as that of , in his book '' Moral Politics '', states that libertarianism draws from the conservative metaphorical model of American political ideology.
