Should we all adopt the following definition of "Far Right", so as to prevent people being unfairly branded with the term?

Jean-Yves Camus and Nicolas Lebourg:

1) Far-Right movements challenge the political system in place, both its institutions and its values (political liberalism and egalitarian humanism).

2) They feel that society is in a state of decay, which is exacerbated by the state: accordingly, they take on what they perceive to be a redemptive mission.

3) They constitute a countersociety and portray themselves as an alternative elite.

Their internal operations rest not on democratic rules but on the emergence of “true elites.”

4) In their imagination, they link history and society to archetypal figures and glorify irrational, nonmaterialistic values. 5)They reject the geopolitical order as it exists.

    The description sounds fair enough to me. It's refreshing to read something which actually makes sense.

    Far right is a Nazi the same as far left is a Communist. Extremes are never good.
