Exh far out dude

To start with, we have to understand what we imply by the term far-right. Personally, I dislike this term as it is conceptually confusing. A quite moderate centre-right party can be considered far-right if there are no other parties further to its right.   When we refer to so-called far-right parties, we aren't really thinking of a spatial position so much as an ideological position. Thus the label far-right should be dispensed with in favour of an alternative. The more popular labels in the literature tend to focus on the extreme, radical, or populist right.

I practically and generally support the Non-aggression principle in ways that Mark Twain would support it “What presents itself to us as bourgeois legality is nothing but the violence of the ruling class, a violence raised to an obligatory norm from the outset”  Rosa L "Move toward a  system  based in redemption, not punishment. We must reallocate resources and invest in education, housing, healthcare, jobs, and other programs that address the root of crime. " Justice Democrats "We must also end *qualified immunity, create stronger civilian review boards, demilitarize the police, and support violence interruption programs that have a track record of helping our communities." Justice Democrats *Or at worst pragmatically  Radically Centrist  idea on ending qualified immunity that meshes with moralism (see below) I feel that everyone deserves a fair trial (even fascists) I agree with this article and its critique of Australia's over the top, authoritarian lockdown
