Far Right In Europa

Japan,Germany and Italy were called "The Axis" by "Allies". One of these country's feature in common appeared in 1960~70's. It was a terrible far left activity with terrorism. United Red Army (Japan, It was a prototype of modern Palestinian suicide terror ) Red Army Fraction( W Germany infamous Hijacks) Red Brigades(Italy kidnapping). And they were anti-U.S. naturally. In France, America, and many other countries, far left activities went off at that time. But It was not so radical as"The Axis". I assume that it was " W.W Ⅱ resurgence". It was also the battle against Anglo-America Capitalism. In some meanings ,a political movement might be a prolongation of the past war.

What is the most notable political movement in Europa after that? I'm sure that it is Far Right,and it will be in the future. I have no sympathy with Chauvinism, but understand modern far right stemmed from values which were surrendered themselves to the idea of Welfare State. So it often contains libertarianism.
In Britain, Welfare state have been bankrupt once as an idea. But Margaret Thacher was not called Far Right at that time. Although leftists or feminists called her "Fascist". Britain is still a welfare state, but it hasn't already meant a positive value. On the other hand,Thacher was not also so radical as a politician on the right.

Invincible Welfare state like Sweden, seems to have many Far Right supporters now. The more losers the more radical supporters to Far Right. Far Right movement is thought to depends on the pride or self-esteem of a loser or unadapted class. It seems not a temporary movement but a rebel from the side of values neglected for a long time in welfare state. Otherwise, it is a restorationism. (it might be values about family,religion, tribalism, male dominance, free economy or education)
