“People who will have no problem bombing or assasinating to get what they want.”

Not a coherent definition.

The “far right” defined by leftists group conservatives, libertarians and neo-Nazis. But the Nazis are statist, collectivist, socialist, interventionist just like the “far left”. In reality Nazis are simply “racist far left”. They do not belong with libertarians, Constitutionalists and conservatives. Too read a Freeper making this basic mistake makes me wonder whether you are a leftist or simply stupid?

Well, Marxist leftists are themselves racist. What national socialists try to appeal to is the national identity versus some international notion of “the working class” although they obviously try to appeal to the working class of the particular nation they are addressing. Nasser described himself as both nationalist and socialist, using terms such as “pan-Arabism”, which is evocative of the Nazis’ “pan-Germanism”.

Woodrow Wilson espoused similar beliefs.
… (I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …
Equating democracy with socialism results in democracy becoming a collectivist ideology, with the community (cf. state) being supreme over, and more important than, the individual. That of course devolves towards groups of individuals that are non-state-affiliated, i.e. particular races.
