The rise of the far-right parties, and their politics around the world in recent times have raised a growing concern about how influential they have become in world politics.From the German Alternative for Germany to the French National Rally as some prominent examples of such influential parties, it seem clear, that the far-right are making a comeback to the world stage.
The resurgence of far-right politics around the world reminds us of the interbellum years between the two world wars, when facism rose in prominence as a political ideology. Now, just like the interbellum years, far-right politics are rising all over the world. In Italy, a far-right coalition government has taken power, headed by Giorgia Meloni`s Brothers of Italy. In France, Marine Le Pen`s National Rally has risen to prominence challenging Macron`s presidency in two presidential elections. In Germany, the Alternative for Germany has gained 81 seats in the German Bundestag. While the Hungarian Fidesz Party, and its prime minister, Viktor Orban, is shifting to a far-right agenda even though at its foundation, Fidesz started out as a center-left, liberal political party. The Freedom Caucus faction,a notable right-to far right faction in the Republican party has grown in strength, and many of its ultra-conservative members have actively blocked Representative McCarthy`s many bids to become the house speaker until concessions were made. Consequently, these, far-right politics are back, and they have gained even more influence than before.
But a question arises, why? Why is this resurgence happening? Did they not learn the lesson some seventy-eight years ago? The reason is simple…in a way. These movements are becoming popular again thanks to the people's desire for strong, reactionary changes. The people's wishes to return to past “glory days'', often highly dramatized, fueling their popularity. This belief, coupled with people who feel alienated from the current political discourse, and wish for their golden age to come back, is the main source of support for far-right politics. Of course, there are other lesser reasons as well, such as growing nationalism, economic and security problems, and growing xenophobia, but at its core, far-right politics now are fueled by a strong want of reactionary policies against an ever changing world.

To put it simply, it is resentment against change. For example, The National Rally of France is fueled by strong French nationalism, anti-immigration, and strong Euroskeptiscm views. Supported by anti-immigration views, and strong dissident for international forces, primarily the EU,that drive change in Europe, and calling for an “independent” France.The National Rally is the textbook example of a far-right political party. Another example is the Hungarian Fidesz Party, championing strong Hungarian nationalism and anti-immigrant illiberalism. Just like these prominent examples, the future of the resurgent far-right seems bright, or does it?
The far-right politics have indeed chosen a good time to come back. However, the question is, will it prevail, or will it fall just like the last time it rose to prominence during the roaring twenties.


Although the growing skepticism to globalization, and the surge of xenophobia due to the migrant crisis that struck Europe, and finally the different economic and security problems and threats, like the Russo-Ukrainian War, and its effects do fuel those parties, it doesn't mean guaranteed success for these parties. Strong political opposition from existing parties, as well as the radical aggression the far-right tend to show are barriers that it must overcome, if it indeed wishes to take complete control of a nation's politics. Until now, the far-right seems to be successful, but only time will tell, if their success will continue.
