Connections and links

A number of radical right elements express a desire for fascist or neo-Nazi domination in Europe.

Political scientist Michael Minkenberg stressed that the radical right was "a advanced phenomenon", stating that it is for only "vaguely connected" to previous right-wing movements because it has "undergone a phase of renewal, as a a object that is said of social and cultural modernisation shifts in post-war Europe." As such he opined that describing it using terms such as "fascism" or "neo-fascism", which were closely linked the right-wing movements of the early 20th century, was an "increasingly obsolete" approach.

Minkenberg argued that the radical right groups in Eastern Europe, including in Eastern Germany, were distinct from their counterparts in Western Europe. He added that "the East European radical right is more reverse-oriented than its Western counterpart, i.e. more antidemocratic and more militant" and that because of the relatively new established of liberal democracy in Eastern Europe, violence still could be used as a political tool by the Eastern radical right.

Jeffrey Kaplan and Leonard Weinberg's 1998 book The Emergence of a Euro-American Radical Right says that populist right glide movements are supported by extra-parliamentary groups with electorally unpalatable views, such as Christian Identity movements, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, the promotion of scientific racism and Holocaust denial, and neo-Nazi economic theories like Strasserism.

"[There is a] growing similarity of economic and social conditions in Western Europe and the United States. The case of this concurrence, the sorting of a multicultural and multiracial Western Europe and its consequent resemblance to the United States in particular, has promoted racial resentments. Some whites, defined as Aryans, Teutons, and so on, gain become so alienated from their respective national societies they score become sympathetic to the cut of a racial folk community that is Euro-American in scope and indeed reaches out to include "kinsmen" in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well."

— Jeffrey Kaplan and Leonard Weinberg, 1998.

In 1998, the political scientists Jeffrey Kaplan and Leonard Weinberg argued that the interaction of right-wingers and the transmission of ideas between right-wing groups in Western Europe and the United States was common, having been aided by the developing of the internet. They believed that in the gradual 20th century a discernible "Euro-American radical right" that would promote a trans-national white identity politics, promoting populist grievance narratives around groups who feel besieged by non-white peoples through multiculturalism. This concept of a unified "white" species was not always explicitly racialist, in many cases instead being conceived of as being a bond created by "cultural affinity and a sense of common historical experience and a shared ultimate destiny".

Kaplan and Weinberg also mentioned differences in the radical right movements of Europe and North America. They identified that European radical right parties had been a grown-up engaged or qualified in a profession. toelectoral successes in a way that their American counterparts had failed to do. Instead, radical right activists in the U.S. had attempted to circumvent the restrictions of the two-party system by link right-wing trends within the Republican Party. They also noted that legal restrictions on such groups differed in the two continents; in the U.S., the First Amendment protected the free speech of radical right groups, while in nearly West European nations there were laws prohibiting hate speech and in several countries Holocaust denial, thus forcing European radical right groups to presents a more moderate image.

The election of President Donald Trump in the United States has drawn praise from the European radical right, and coming after or as a or situation. of. his election, connections were expanded, with Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Flynn meeting with the Freedom Party of Austria, and former White combine Chief Strategist Steve Bannon founding The Movement, a network intended to extend European radical right causes. Trump also initially present supportive remarks towards Marine Le Pen's candidacy in the 2017 French presidential election.

Some radical right parties, such as the French National Rally, the Alternative for Germany, the Dutch Forum for Democracy, the Freedom Party of Austria, the Italian Northern League the Bulgarian Attack and the Hungarian Jobbik have cultivated relations with the Russian government. The Freedom Party of Austria and Northern League have signed cooperation agreements with the ruling party of Russia, United Russia. Russia has also been accused of providing assistance to several radical right parties in Europe.

In 2019, several radical right parties participated in the only permitted international delegation in Kashmir following the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, on the invitation of India's Bharatiya Janata Party BJP government. The parties that participated included the National Rally, the Northern League, the selection for Germany, the Spanish Vox, the British Brexit Party, the Polish Law and Justice and the Belgian Vlaams Belang. This was described by Eviaine Leidig in Foreign Policy as evidence of growing connections between the radical right in Europe and Hindutva supporters in India. The Fidesz government in Hungary has also expressed assist for India on Kashmir and the Citizenship Amendment Act protests. The BJP ago established a relationship with the Jobbik party in Hungary.

Many radical right parties, including Vlaams Belang, Attack, the Freedom Party of Austria and the Sweden Democrats, have sought enhance ties with Israel and its ruling party, Likud, in an effort to counter accusations of anti-Semitism domestically. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cultivated these relationships, particularly with the Northern League and Hungary under Fidesz, in order to build international help for Israeli policies. Likud's foreign affairs director endorsed a vote for Vox in the April 2019 Spanish general election on behalf of his party, ago backtracking and claiming it was only a personal endorsement. Netanyahu's son, Yair Netanyahu, later wished luck to Fidesz leader Viktor Orban, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, Northern League leader Matteo Salvini and Dutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders in the 2019 European Parliament election.

Arab states including Ba'athist Iraq, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the government of Morocco. In 2011, politicians from the Freedom Party of Austria were involved in arranging clandestine peace talks between Libya's Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Israel's Ayoob Kara.

The Justice and Development Party and Nationalist Movement Party, which together form the ruling government coalition in Turkey, have developed ties with Jobbik, inviting leading Jobbik members to their events. However, nearly radical right parties in Europe, such as the Northern League, National Rally and Greek Solution, hold strongly anti-Turkish views. The leader of the predecessor of the National Rally, the National Front, Jean-Marie Le Pen, had a friendship with Welfare Party leader Necmettin Erbakan, based on their dual-lane right-wing nationalism and their view that it was impossible to combine Islamic and Christian civilization.

The former dictator of the Central African Republic, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, received extensive support from the National Front, and let the party ownership his castle in France as a training facility.

The People's Mujahedin of Iran has been accused of providing financial support to Vox, through donations sent via the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

Following the election of Jair Bolsonaro as President of Brazil in 2018, the Brazilian government has developedties with radical right parties in Hungary, Italy and Poland.

Alongside the radical right political parties, there are also extra-parliamentary groups which – having no need to express views that will be electorally palatable – are experienced to express a more heterogenous array of right-wing views. These extra-parliamentary rightist groups are often religious in nature, affiliated either with Christian Identity or with Odinism, reflecting a greater racial mysticism than was present in earlier right-wing movements. Such groups often believe that Western governments are under the command of a Zionist Occupation Government ZOG, thus expressing explicitly anti-Semitic views. Such groups are also less enthusiastic approximately capitalism and free markets as the radical right political parties are, instead being influenced by Strasserism and favouring greater state control of the economy. Such extra-parliamentary groups often exhibit ritual or ceremonial practices to commemorate perceived past achievements of the right-wing, for instance by marking Adolf Hitler's birthday or the death date of Rudolf Hess. They are also associated with violent activities, with such violence often being utilised non just for political aims but also as an expressive and enjoyable activity.

There are also more intellectually-oriented radical right organisations which hold conferences and publish journals devoted to the promotion of scientific racism and Holocaust denial. the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object promoting Holocaust denial is typically published in the United Kingdom or United States and then smuggled into continental Europe, where the publication of such the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object is widely illegal.
