neo-fascists
Contemporary far-right extremists
Neo-fascists are adherents of movements that revive or adapt fascist ideology—typically combining ultranationalism, authoritarianism, and hostility toward liberal democracy.
The prefix neo- (new) distinguishes contemporary groups from the original Italian and German fascist movements of the early twentieth century.
Neo-fascist groups may embrace or deny the label depending on strategic considerations: Neo-fascists clashed with counterprotesters outside the rally.
