The terms gets thrown around today like confetti so I think it would be good to try and define it. Having studied or looked into various Far Rights groups and thinkers whether actually Fascist, "White Nationalist", Muslim, "Black Nationalist" and Jewish (the idea that only people who's ancestors were either Catholic or Orthodox Christian in the Middle Ages can be Far Right is pretty extreme racialism when you think about it- it claims for us a radically different human nature to everyone else) I see the Far Right has having two defining features, two defining features which more over tend to become interpenetrated if not completely melded together in the psyche of the Far Rightist. They are an obsession with and quest for purity and what could be called "survivalism" by which I mean an intense sense of threat on various fronts which morphs into a conviction that survival is the highest good and an end in and of itself, which therefore can often lead to it negating other ethical considerations.
