neofascists
Contemporary far-right extremists
Neofascists are people who embrace ideologies descended from mid-twentieth-century fascism—typically ultranationalism, authoritarian governance, and hostility toward liberal democracy.
The term distinguishes contemporary adherents from historical fascists while emphasizing ideological continuity: Neofascists clashed with counterprotesters outside the rally.
Often used as a political accusation, sometimes loosely.
