We can see specifically which parties You Gov classify as far right. AfD in Germany. Le Pen in France. Fratelli d’Italia in Italy. VOX in Spain. PVV in the Netherlands. I do not know that any of those parties would seriously disagree with their classification as far right.

  I dont think the proletariat will beat up jews or gay men on the street which is one assoziation I have for far right.

    Yes, that is an opinion you are supposed to have. You are supposed to associate the regime's class enemies with nazis and communists so that their claims can be dismissed without a single rational thought. "They beat up jews and gays!" is a great way to avoid having a difficult conversation about the regime's blatantly hostile policies against their own people.

      Why would I dismiss communists, the only people ever fighting for our interests?
    - snowpid 10mo ago
      I just listen to AfD politicians speeches and read the wikipedia articles about Nazi time in Germany. And I draw my conclusions.

    You would be surprised that "far right" AfD is the most pro Jew party in Germany, polling at first place among Jews. AfD party later is gay and merited with a coloured migrant lay. But hey, they beat gays and Jews. Probably kick kittens and puppies too.

      Most important jewish organisations are fighting against the afd. https://www.zentralratderjuden.de/presse/juden-gegen-die-afd/ https://www.zentralratderjuden.de/presse/juden-gegen-die-afd...

        And AFD members are using "LGBTQ" as a deragatory term. They are most definitely hostile towards queer people.

        As some members of other parties too. And yet, of all German parties, only AfD has an openly gay leader. A lesbian married to an immigrant woman.

        So what? That changes nothing about their policies and views. Ernst Röhm was one of the most powerful people in early Nazi Germany and famously gay. And still, the NSDAP brutally and systemically persecuted queer people. You act as if hypocrisy, bigotry, moral flexibility and opportunism weren't core "virtues" of far right populists.

        With Röhm you are close to Goodwin. The difference is Röhm was hiding his sexual preferences, while Weidel is pretty open about it. Röhm was killed because of it by his party members. Weidels sexual preference is a non issue for AfD members. Your comparison with Röhm just shows once more that AfD policies are quite opposite to those of the NSDAP.

  For the purposes of the survey the term refers to a specific list of specific parties. There's no semantic void here!

    Stop hurting their feelings when they are telling you they’re oppressed!
