Well in the U.S. the "far right" really doesn't exist in any appreciable form, except maybe one or two republicans who happen to get elected. You have to remember that the U.S. is a two party system, and both parties are pretty damn close to being on a centerline between left and right. Almost nobody wants socialism, and almost nobody wants some ultra-national overly powerful government.

Nazis aren't really a threat because no one takes them seriously over here. They are the target of jokes and ridicule and have absolutely no power in any form.

I don't know if it is the same thing in Europe. I personally have no fear of any radical power taking power in the U.S. anytime within my lifetime. Of course though, they do have the right to form a political party and put forward their ideas. But what about the REALLY radical parties like Nazis and others who promote murder, racism or violence? Should these parties even be allowed? Isn't a party that promotes violence just as bad as a person who makes a violent threat? Shouldn't they be treated the same way?
