Comparison of Donald Trump in 2016 and Adolf Hitler in 1933
Neo-fascism is a far-right political ideology that was formed after World War II and the fall of fascism in Europe. Neo-fascism's beliefs include populism, xenophobia, nativism, nationalism, anti-communism, anti-socialism, anti-anarchism, and opposition to liberal democracy and the parliamentary system.
Neo-fascism arose in former fascist countries such as Germany and Italy in addition to nations such as France and the United Kingdom, with most of the supporters of neo-fascism advocating ultranationalism and ethnic supremacy. In Germany, groups such as the National Socialist Underground would launch terrorist attacks against Muslim immigrants, while Ordine Nuovo would attack numerous targets in Italy in hopes of recreating the National Fascist Party. In other parts of Europe, fascism came in the form of political parties, with the UK Independence Party and British National Party existing in the UK, the National Front of France in France, and the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands.
During the 2010s, neo-fascism and the related alt-right movement gained more supporters due to the growing immigration and terrorism crisis, with neo-fascists discriminating against Muslims and Jews (the latter of whom were stated to have been responsible for the terrorism by the fascist groups). Politicians such as Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, and Donald Trump were accused of having fascist views by many, and their views eerily resembled those of Adolf Hitler and other fascists of the early 20th century.
