| '''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 [[Italian fascism|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".

| |
| | |
| Neo-nazism, by its most general meaning, refers to the post-world war two adherence to [[nazism]]. Neo-nazis are highly [[Racism|racist]], often of the white supremacist and anti-semitic type, [[Conspiracy theory|conspiratorial]], and [[reactionary]]. Neo-nazism is heavly linked with the "[[alt-right]]", and can be viewed as a particular form of neo-fascism. Neo-nazis goals range from preforming terrorist actions aganist percived racial "enemies", to starting a "race war", and creating a "forth reich".

| | |
| === Strasserism ===
| |
| Strasserism is a [[Third positionism|third positionist]] ideology based on [[nazism]]. Strasserism is based on the works of Gregor and Otto Strasser, whom were both associated with the [[National Socialist German Workers' Party|national socialist german workers' party]]. Strasserism calls for a more [[Proletariat|worker]]-based and socialistic form of regular nazism. However, much like nazism, strasserism is greatly anti-semitic, only in the case of strasserism, its racist conspiracy theories are bulit off economic anti-semitism, that is, a form of anti-semitism where the reason why jewish people are used as a scapegoat for economic ills is because, supposedly, they are of a higher economic status than the racially-pure worker.<ref>{{Citation|author=Christopher T.

| === Ecofascism ===
| |
| Ecofascism, outside its derogatory usage by reactionaries to insult anybody who accepts the existance of man-made [[climate change]], refers to the ideological trends the syndicate hard-line [[environmentalism]] with ultranationalism and xenophobia. Ecofascists view [[earth]] as a [[Malthusianism|malthusian]] battleground between racial and ethnic groups, and think that ecological harmony is tied with ethnic or racial monodominance. To combat climate change, ecofascists believe not only in things such as [[eugenics]], but also in the purging of ethnic minorites, by means of forced relocation or [[Genocide|otherwise]].<ref>{{News citation|author=Alistair Walsh|newspaper=Deutsche Welle|title=Eco-fascism: The greenwashing of the far right|date=2022-5-19|url=https://www.dw.com/en/what-is-eco-fascism-the-greenwashing-of-the-far-right-terrorism-climate-change-buffalo-shooter/a-61867605|retrieved=2022-6-21}}</ref>

| Ecofascism is greatly inspired by nazism, particularly, the "blood and soil" idea, which states that a race is attached with the land it inhabits. Many ecofascists are [[Neo-pagan|neo-pagans]], mostly worshiping the norse pantheon, largely because they are percived by ecofascists as being "racially" pure "heros" of "white people". In online ecofascist groups, the algiz rune "ᛉ" is often used. The algiz rune symbolizes life, that is in the case of ecofascists, life for nature and white people. The algiz rune was also a symbol for [[lebensraum]]; the nazi plan for the enslavement and extermination of the slavic inhabitants of eastern europe, and colonization by ethnic germans.<ref>{{News citation|author=Sarah Manavis|newspaper=The Newstatesman|title=Eco-fascism: The ideology marrying environmentalism and white supremacy thriving online|date=2018-9-21|url=https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2018/09/eco-fascism-ideology-marrying-environmentalism-and-white-supremacy}}</ref>

| | |
| === "Alt-right" ===
| |
| The term "alt-right" refers to a lose grouping of far-right extremists, largely based on the internet. Alt-righters are often "white nationalists" ([[Racism|white supremacists]]), [[Neo-Nazism|neo-nazis]], highly misogynistic, and otherwise hateful. Many alt-righters claim to be promoting a form of [[identity politics]], that is, for the support of white people or white males, aganist percived repression from ethnic minorites and females. Many other alt-righters are openly white-supremacist, and otherwise seek to create a white ethno-state, often motivated by bloated and fear-mongering reports of "illegal aliens" (non-white people) that come from the [[Statesian]] [[Bourgeois media|capitalist news]].<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Southern Poverty Law Center|title=Ideology: Alt-right|url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/alt-right}}</ref>
