Right-wing extremism often appeals to disenfranchised workers by exploiting their economic grievances and sense of lost status or privilege. Some key connections include:
Scapegoating immigrants, minorities, and women for perceived job losses and economic hardship, promoting nativist and anti-feminist ideologies.[1][2]
Promoting the idea that the "system" is rigged against the traditional working class by elites, minorities, and progressives who have taken away their rightful status and opportunities.[1] This breeds a sense of "aggrieved entitlement."[1]
Offering a nostalgic vision of restoring traditional social hierarchies, order, and the primacy of the native working class.[1][3]
Exploiting economic anxiety and blaming globalization, free trade, and liberal policies for the decline of manufacturing and blue-collar jobs.[2][4]
Appealing to disillusioned workers by rejecting the political establishment and positioning the far-right as the true voice for the "forgotten" working class.[3][4]
So while not necessarily a core tenet, right-wing extremism has proven adept at channeling the economic frustrations of disenfranchised workers into a broader agenda of nationalism, racism, xenophobia, and anti-feminism.[1][2][4]
