| '''Neo-fascism''' is a term that refers to the post-world war two ideological trends that feature [[ultranationalism]], strong [[militarism]], [[Reactionary|reactionism]], and other features of the orginial [[fascist]] movements. Similar to the fascists of the 20th century, neo-fascism is born as a reaction to changing social climates, as well as growing economic hardships among the [[Petty bourgeoisie|petit-bourgeoisie]].

| With the rise of [[neoliberalism]], and the increasing concentration of capital into fewer-and-fewer hands, neo-fascism has gained new popularity among many nations, particularly as things such as intensifying [[climate change]] and economic hardships (the results of [[capitalism]]) ravage the mddle class.<ref>{{Citation|author=Marc-André Argentino, Blyth Crawford, Florence Keen, Hannah Rose|year=2021|title=Far From Gone: The Evolution

| The term "neofascist" is often vaugely defined, and besides its usage as a mere pejorative, "neofascism" better refers to an entire grouping of [[far-right]] trends that appered after classical fascism largely died as a power-holding ideology after world war two.

| Many neo-fascist movements are created and gain popularity for similar reasons as to how the old fascists got popularity - that is to say - by using social, political, or economic chaos as a means of advocating for a return to a past golden age; or other words - a palingenesis. Commonly, the fascists of the modern epoch will blame the ills a society suffers from on a scapegoat, one that rarely ever relates to the internal economic classes of a [[capitalist]] society, and much more often, foreigners, sometimes those whom are of another (often percived) race. In other cases, the neofascist will have his scapegoat be that of [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy]], blaming the problems the people face on an underground and otherwise subversive force, regardless of how scientifically or logically false it may be. These two examples of blaming issues on a race or on a conspiracy need not conflict, as often times, the neofascist will claim that a ''race'' is preforming or at least aiding in the ''conspiracy''. This trend is common with, for example, anti-semites.

| Neo-fascists (and far-righters in general) often rely heavly and [[populism]] to spread their often xenophobic views. They will attempt to mobilize the social (often the petit-bourgeoisie) or ethnic group that their political program holds to be "the common people", and rally them to oppose a percived enemy. Often, this enemy will be "the eilitists" or "globalists", while the neo-fascist will commonly pose themselves as being "just an average joe"; not a class enemy but a compatriot. Furthermore, the neo-fascist will attempt to make themselves a demagogue; a "common man" who can save their nation or race from a percived enemy, or defeat the "elities". Neofascists will often look towards paternal figures to lead a movement, regardless of their economic standing, as such, it is highly [[Class collaboration|class collaborationist]], often denying [[class struggle]] in favor in national unity or "racial struggle".
