Far right just means anyone right of far left now.

They aren't fascist but the rise of the right wing parties should be concerning for anyone who is a student of history. Not that I think anyone getting elected now is particularly concerning, but the right has its blindspots to power hungry despots same as the left. And power hungry despots go with the winds of popular opinion and know what to say to win elections.

Correct large scale political shifts of any sort can lead to opportunistic power grabs.

Leftist political parties killed 100 million living, breathing human beings in the 20th century in pursuit of the goals they said would make the world a better place.
