Far-right politics are politics that are farther to the right on the political spectrum than the usual political right. The term is often used to mean Nazism, neo-Nazism, fascism and other organizations that have reactionary views.
Its ideological foundations are principally based on extreme nationalism, anti-immigration, authoritarianism, opposition to democracy and the promotion of traditional values. It often wants to return to a past era.
Far-right parties are often divided into two groups: radical right parties and extreme right parties. Radical right parties often have illiberal views, but they still respect democractic principles, while extreme right parties oppose democracy and sometimes use or promote violence.
Saying that superior people should have greater rights than inferior people is often associated with the far right, which has historically favored a society that believes in superior minority over inferior masses.
Fascism is a far-right political ideology that has led to genocide.

In the United States, the term "hard right" has been used to describe some groups such as the Tea Party and the Patriot movements.
Unlike extreme right parties, radical right parties generally operate within the boundaries of the democratic framework: they are not working actively to subvert the democratic system, and they tend not to approve the use of violence.
