Discussions of right-wing populist and extremist politics and activities tend to pay little attention to the historic continuity of far-right thought and action. The far-right milieu is often considered as something alien, standing apart from society and its fundamental political culture. This tendency was even more pronounced in the GDR, which derived its political legitimacy from anti-fascism. Yet recent electoral campaigns across Europe reveal ever more clearly that there is a considerable pool of votes from which far-right, nationalist parties may draw.
