As much as Fascists, what the so-called “far right” look like most of all are the Bolsheviks. Steve Bannon has compared himself to Lenin, which seems bizarre at first. These people share:
- rigid ideological positions
- justification of the ends over the means
- use of personalized attacks on opponents, demeaning name-calling
- a dehumanizing of their opponents
- a penchant for conspiracy theories
- a proclivity for projection; accusing their opponents of what they are doing or intend to do
- deliberate use of disinformation, trolling, gaslighting, and other forms of deception
- hyperbolic, even apocalyptic descriptions of the threats opponents pose
- attempts to impose minority views on the majority
- essentially undemocratic worldviews
- willingness to incite, tolerate, or use violence
- a cult of the personality
You may be able to add more. Pretty rotten stuff.
