Shifting Identities: The Far-Right's Historical Journey

This chapter examines the evolving self-definition of far-right groups in Britain, connecting their narratives to historical movements such as the Peasants' Revolt and interwar fascism. It discusses the strategic shift from identifying as 'fascist' to 'nationalist' in light of Holocaust implications, while drawing comparisons to contemporary radical right parties in Europe. The analysis highlights the historical roots of political violence and the impact of misinformation in shaping the current discourse on extremism and identity.
