ABSTRACT
In Austria, the place of birth of Adolf Hider and some 700,000 members of the old Nazi party, there continue to be radical right incidents and attitudes that have kept alive the awareness of the past. The would-be assassin belonged to Seikijuku, a radical right organization that supports the old imperial system and, in particular, the once deified royal family and Japanese conduct in the war. In Spain and Portugal, too, radical right-wing forces have appeared in the wake of collapsing right-wing dictatorships. History has always had to endure quixotic projections by tormented minds, and the distance between the images and present life is probably no larger than that between some of the violent deeds of radical right movements and their rationalizations about them. The scale from the social-movement component of the Radical Right is centralized organizations of a partisan, paramilitary, or religious nature.
