Right Extremism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Right Extremism is a form of political extremism that is usually associated with the extreme right wing in politics or to groups that are nationalist and use violence to achieve their goals. The meaning and use of the term has varied throughout history and in different languages, and right extremism as collective term may include both radical capitalist, conservative and reactionary movements, various terrorist groups, Nazis and fascists. Høyreekstremisters political orientation may therefore be a national socialist, fascist, klerikalfascistisk, kristofascistisk and the like, but also inner neoconservative and liberal. Because of the danger of political confusion, such confusion with the party right, there are some who try to avoid the term in Norwegian today and replace it with other words, the narrower sense, such as Nazism, racism or nationalism.

History
The first wave of extreme right movements in Europe came in the interwar period when a number of fragile European democracies were set aside by the extreme-right movements. The best examples of this are the rule sets in Italy under Benito Mussolini, Josef Pilsudski in Poland, Germany under Adolf Hitler, Austria under Engelbert Dollfuss and Spain under Franco.
The rise of neo-Nazi movement in the 1960s and 1970s, represents the second wave of right extremism. In Germany, the extreme-right parties that NPD and DVU enjoyed great support in a number of states, despite government attempts to ban these movements. In Germany, the extreme-right symbols like swastikas and Roman greeting has been prohibited since the Third Reich case.
Right Extremism in Norway
In the 1930s, was the Norwegian right extremists in the party organized the National Collection or the even more extreme group Ragnarok.
While the neo-Nazi organizations in recent times has had some support in the young people in Sweden, has the right-wing extremists to a small extent been able to recruit Norwegian youth. Today, organizations Vigrid and the Norwegian National Socialist Movement the most famous right-wing extremist organizations in Norway. The latter group has its roots in Norwegian Front, later the National Democratic Party, which was founded by Erik Blücher in 1975.
Liberal criticism of the term
Some have criticized the use of bregepet right extremism and believes it is inappropriate as a term for neo-Nazism, fascism and nationalism, but only for nykonsevatisme and liberalism. This is justified by the fascist ideologies seem to be much closer to communism, especially in view of the state and individual. The political left has traditionally stood for socialism and a strong state apparatus, while the right side is perceived to stand for capitalism and personal freedom. The Nazis called besides its own policies as socialist, and both Nazism, fascism and nationalism wants strong state control and less individual freedom.
Certain elements of the political right parties seem however to stand for a form of nationalism and racism, for example, that they are against immigration and supporters of the collective integration of immigrants. Several, especially young right-liberalism, therefore believe that the use of the right and left as a political axis can be misleading. Instead one should use collectivism versus liberalism, neo-Nazism and place, fascism and nationalism on the collectivist side with communism, socialism and religious extremism. Critics have also argued that the concept of right extremism is created by the ytterligående left to hurt opponents on the moderate right. Nazism, neo-Nazism, fascism and communism are highly negatively charged terms in public debate today, and no parties wishing to be taken seriously, will be linked to such movements.
The counter-argument against a redefinition of the concept is first and foremost that the extreme right is a well established name in common use. Moreover, Communists and Nazis have always been arch enemies and even regarded as polar opposites in their political ytterfløy, and the militant right movements have traditionally supported a brutal form of capitalism.
