ABSTRACT

This chapter analyses nationalist and neofascist graffiti— i.e., those that are created with the sprays and stencils of extreme-right groups and individuals in Slovenia. The classical fascism was indeed militarily defeated as an ideological formation, a political system, and a social order in 1945, but not as the structural element of later systems and ideologies which advocate and enforce the authoritarian and hierarchical order of societies, therefore the intolerance and exclusion based on ethnicity, gender, class, race, culture, sexuality, etc. Extremist graffiti are also directed against various minorities in Slovenian society. As a rule, graffiti writers develop their own signature style, many of them can be recognised by their pseudonyms, but their true identity is always difficult to trace. Graffiti and street art of all those mentioned earlier are kept company on the walls by those of clearly identified right-wing subpolitical groups.
