'Far-right' may not be the best way to characterize it but its rhetoric for domestic consumption is profoundly racist and part of its practical manifestation is the development of a system of absolute monarchy in all but name, arguably both more absolute and more monarchical than any of the actual formal sovereign monarchies still existing in the world.

And trying (in essentially deifying it's first head of state) trying to outdo theocracy as well.

Yes, don't let's forget that. Christopher Hitchens once called it the most fervently religious place he'd ever been and although Hitch and I part company on an awful lot, including what constitutes 'religion', I get what he meant and he certainly wasn't wrong.
