Slow & Steady: Continuous Mainstreaming of Right-Wing Extremism

How are the radical right movement across the United States, Poland and Germany intertwined across borders?

Radical right-wing extremism is on the rise in the United States, Europe and Germany. Heidi Beirich (Southern Poverty Law Center), Thomas Greven (Freie Universität Berlin) and Rafal Pankowski (Never Again Association, Poland) discuss how the radical right trends came to be and how the movements are intertwined across borders.

Hosted in May 2018 by Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, the panel was organized by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) as part of the FES project "Against right-wing extremism".

I don't understand why not wanting to become a minority in your own country is considered extreme.

It's not just a western problem. This is world wide, and there's going to be a moment of truth. Are the normal people ready to do what needs to be done?

Human kind will never master human relations, sad but true...

recently read Hardt and Negri's neo-marxist analysis of post cold war world order, Empire (2000). They say a lot of thing about centerless capitalism that sound nearly identical to the populist right. When read with stuff like Goodwin and Eatwell's 2018 book National Populism, it seems clear that globalized neo-liberal capitalism has engendered this backlash.

There is NO right-wing extremism. The term you are looking for is conservatism and it is not even remotely extremism. Now if we talk about how far the modern left has swung that is absolutely extremism.
