After the French Revolution, people who supported the old monarchy, feudalism and a heirarchal sat on the right side of presiding officer of French Parliament and the liberal, non-aristocrats and members of the third estate usually sat on the left.
During the 1900s Karl Marx’s ideas began to spread across Europe. In France, the people who supported monarchies (the right wing) were the most vocal opponents of communism, so they referred to Marxists as the “far left.”
But one guy changed that
But one guy changed that
Before the 1930 German election the, National Socialist German Workers' Party (or Nazi Party) only had 12 seats in the legislature. So, a dude named Adolph Hitler started a violent gang war against German Communists’ for political turf (The white on white crime was HORRIBLE)
So when the Nazis AND the communist made huge gains in the 1930 German elections, the Reichstag had to separate the gangbangers
Remember, the communists were already on the far left (from the Reichstag presiding officer’s perspective) so where did he put the Nazis?

So in politics, the “far-right” has always represented fascism and totalitarianism. But Even in America, there has always been a component of racial & ethnic nationalism to it.
And if you ever wondered how people
On the right can believe Black ppl are less intelligent & uneducated but somehow every Black activists has read the complete works of Karl Marx, this also explains why any Black person who opposes racism is accused of being a communist

According to FAR RIGHT ideology, MLK was a Marxist
It’s why right wingers and far-right groups like @Heritage painted accurate history as a “Marxist” form
Of “Critical Race Theory”

It’s why @tedcruz can convince stupid people that communist atheists are somehow supporting Muslim Palestinians fighting for Democracy.
Because the far right is synonymous with racism, Dumb racists don’t actually have to KNOW anything about Marxism to hate it.

So when @TomCottonAR spreads bullshit like this, everything becomes “Marxist.” DEI is Marxist. The 1619 project is Marxist

It really doesn’t matter how I define it because they’ve defined themselves throughout history
But, to answer your question, here’s how HISTORY define “far right.”
Far right is pro-fascist, pro-authoritarian and pro-genocide.

In America, it is the OPPOSITE of Democracy. It is the OPPOSITE of equality. It is the OPPOSITE of inclusion. It is against civil rights and accurate history and Black lives and liberty and justice for all.
Whether it’s the French aristocracy, Nazi Germany, Southern segregationists, MAGA extremists or a radio show about keeping Black history out of schools, historically the term has referred to one thing:
“We, the white people”
“We, the white people”
Hope this helps
