Retarget?

[edit]

I propose re-targeting this to the disambiguation page at Radical right, based on the discussion currently at WP:RS/N. Ideally, alt-right would also be listed separately on the disambiguation page this targets. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:09, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any sources that indicate that "Far-right" and "radical right" are different? It appears that many sources use these phrases interchangeably. Neutralitytalk 18:39, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The page far-right politics suggests that "Far-right" in some contexts is a euphemism for "Nazi". I haven't evaluated the sources on that page in detail. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:40, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's also Right-wing populism. There's clearly a maze of redirects that many editors at WP:RS/N aren't happy with, what is the best page to discuss tese in detail. Here? WT:WikiProject Politics? WP:RS/N? power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:45, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The far right includes neo-Nazis (and may be used as a euphemism for it), but the term far right does extend to other ideologies, as many sources reflect.
  • Peter Davies, The Extreme Right in France, 1789 to the Present: From de Maistre to Le Pen (Psychology Press, 2000) ("Since 1789 the far right has been an important actor in French political life and in different eras has taken on a range of guises, including traditionalism, ultraroyalism, radical nationalism, anti-Semitism and fascism.").
  • Claudie Kesselier, "Far-Right Women in France: The Case of the National Front" in Right-Wing Women: From Conservatives to Extremists Around the World (eds. Paola Bacchetta & Margaret Power) ("The FN became an umbrella organization for far-right tendencies that had previously been divided, and it claimed as its heritage multiple, diverse ideological traditions, from counter-revolutionary thought to fin-de-siècle nationalism, and from Vichyism to colonial racism").
  • Manuela Caiani, Donatella della Porta, Claudius Wagemann, Mobilizing on the Extreme Right: Germany, Italy, and the United States (Oxford University Press, 2012), pp. 64-67 (identifying far-right in the United States as comprised of six main subgroups: religious Christian Identity groups, KKK organizations and patriot-military organizations, far-right commercial sites and publishers and nostalgic and negationist organizations, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations, and skinheads and youth sub-cultural organizations).
All the articles in this family do need editing - there is a lot of overlap among them. Neutralitytalk 18:56, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
