Right-wing extremism


Right-wing extremist ideology has its roots in nationalism and racism. It is governed by the idea that ethnic affiliation to a nation or race is of the utmost importance for an individual. All other interests and values, including civil and human rights, are subordinate to it.
Right-wing extremists propagate a political system in which the state and the people amalgamate – as an alleged natural order – to form a unity ("ideology of the ethnic community"). Actually, this results in an anti-pluralistic system, leaving no room for democratic decision-making procedures. Right-wing extremism in Germany is not homogeneous in terms of ideology, but all right-wing extremists have in common that ethnic affiliation and xenophobia directed against the principle of equality are overestimated.

As concerns its image, right-wing extremism is no homogeneous, self-contained phenomenon, either. It occurs in various forms, in particular in a juvenile sub-culture of violence-prone, right-wing extremist skinheads, neo-Nazi groupings propagating a totalitarian state, parties striving to gain political influence by running in elections, literature of right-wing extremist authors and publishing houses, agitating intellectually or propagandistically.

The ideology which is hostile to the constitution and mostly contemptuous of human life vents itself in right-wing extremist and in particular xenophobic acts of violence directed against minorities only because of their ethnic origin.
In order to contain right-wing extremist acts of violence and to prevent right-wing extremist propaganda activities which are liable to prosecution, a large number of state measures have been taken against right-wing extremism (especially bans on associations and prohibitions of assemblies). Since late 1992, 24 right-wing extremist organisations have been banned by the Federal Minister of the Interior resp. the ministries/senates for interior affairs of the Federal States.
