neofascism
Updated totalitarian nationalism
Neofascism is a revival or continuation of fascist ideology after World War II.
Like its predecessor, it emphasizes authoritarian nationalism, often with racial or ethnic hierarchies, but typically avoids the explicit terminology and symbols of 1930s-40s fascism.
Neofascist movements adapt their messaging to contemporary politics while retaining core elements: strongman leadership, hostility to liberal democracy, and scapegoating of minorities.
The march drew neofascist groups from across Europe.
