Every so and on we hear about crazy stuff by “far right government” stuff like
-
Attacking independence of Justice (Looking at you Hungary)
-
Removing the second parent from birth certificate when the couple is gay (looking at you Italy)
-
Removing book about seahorses or encyclopedia from school because it’s “woke” (looking at you US)
Does someone somehow keep a list of all these measures ? I know that Immigrant rights, LGBT rights are basic human right and if you strip them you strip everyone’s rights. But I look for some factual policies, and may-be the consequences for the population, rather than just some click-baity headlines.
Is there by chance a well documented/sourced list, or at least a wiki
You could try orgs such as Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International, with the caveat that they have been accused of favouring one side, or another in particular instances. To echo @[email protected] what you may consider a violation may not carry the same weight from someone else’s perspective.
Here’s a HRW report from 2021. You could also look at what other non-western countries publish (ex: China), keeping in mind everyone has their own agenda and/or perspective
It’s going to vary too much based on local circumstances and the norms and expectations of that populace.
A better way to approach it would be to study fascism, and look for that pattern. There is a large body of highly scrutinized work exploring the history of fascism, so that’s going to be a more reliable, efficient approach imo.
Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, between the three of them, more or less laid out the basics. And in that chronological order.
I would add that How to Become A Tyrant on Netflix, host by Dinglage. Each episode dives in a different dictator and I found it interesting.
If you have many hours then Behind the Bastards podcast is dense with info.
This was just too perfect not to post
Far rightwing is a subjective view. What is far right in most west countries is nothing on the scale of some 3rd world nations.
Although it is a spectrum, the spectrum is actually pretty well defined:
tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies.
feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views.
Far-right politics have led to oppression, political violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide against groups of people based on their supposed inferiority or their perceived threat to the native ethnic group, nation, state, national religion, dominant culture, or conservative social institutions.
You realise all of those adverbs are subjective in themselves as they a led by the terms “feature aspects of” and “tends”. There is no definition that specifies in exact terms because each political sphere is different. Even your final definition has a prediction embedded which is impossible to prove.
