It?s also important to note that the terms of American politics are not easily transferable to European politics. Often, the extremes in Europe are communists on the left and fascists on the right. In America, ?extreme right wing? has been hijacked to label conservatives who adhere strictly to the Constitution, or who fight for legal immigration. (Some on the American left have even succeeded in making ?extreme right wing? synonymous with the Tea Party.) In Europe, however, the term could mean zealous nationalists and militant fascists.
