The blurred Borders of Racism, Neo-racism, Neo-fascism and National Populism

Racist political parties are now part of the European Parliament and other institutions of decision-making. In the last decade, right-wing and far-right parties strengthened their positions, and their election scores rose visibly. During this time para-militant, far-right groups also increased membership and public visibility all over Europe. These groups worship fascism and Nazism in closed camps while gaining approval in public life for their patriotism, i.e. “good nationalism”. Their targets are migrants, Muslims, and Roma, and they call for the lynching of LGBT-people and celebrate war and the Holocaust.
