this is chatgpt with noam chomsky analyzing right wing vs far right wing.
"Yes, Noam Chomsky has discussed the differences between right-wing and far-right politics in various contexts, particularly in his critiques of political systems, ideologies, and the media.
In Chomsky's view, the
right-wing typically refers to conservative ideologies that emphasize maintaining traditional social structures, limited government, market-driven economies, and individual freedoms within a framework that often upholds existing power structures. Right-wing politics can include a range of positions, from moderate conservatives to more reactionary elements, but generally, they support a capitalist framework, nationalism, and social hierarchies.
The
far-right, on the other hand, is often characterized by more extreme, authoritarian, and anti-democratic tendencies. Far-right ideologies may include a strong embrace of
ethno-nationalism,
racism,
xenophobia, and
fascism. They are often marked by a rejection of liberal democracy and a tendency toward dictatorial or ultranationalist rule. The far-right might also involve a rejection of multiculturalism, a desire to curb immigration, and often a disdain for the rights of marginalized communities.
Chomsky contrasts these two categories by emphasizing that while the
right-wing may seek to preserve the status quo or implement gradual conservative changes, the
far-right seeks more radical, often violent, transformations of society. For example, the far-right may actively seek the dismantling of democratic institutions and the establishment of a more authoritarian or fascist system, whereas right-wing politics might work within the bounds of democratic institutions but still aim for conservative or capitalist reforms.
In his critique of U.S. politics and the global system, Chomsky often stresses that the rise of far-right ideologies represents a significant threat to democratic norms, citing movements that push authoritarianism, racism, and the erosion of civil liberties.
While Chomsky’s focus is usually on critiquing the structures of power (including capitalism and imperialism), he has indeed drawn clear distinctions between the right-wing and far-right, particularly in the context of social, economic, and political consequences."
