ABSTRACT
Among the most dynamic of all the political extremes now is the far right. In the US, the growth of white supremacist groups, militias and so-called Christian fundamentalists has led to a belated recognition that domestic extremism poses great dangers. In Germany, neo-Nazi groups incite violence against foreign workers and asylum seekers, and official assessments suggest that they continue to pose a danger to the safety of citizens and the security of the state. As in the US, the trend in Germany since the 1980s has been for small groups to act out their campaigns on single issues, often coordinating their activities, but seldom seeking to come together to form larger groups with a political agenda.
