Abstract

At about the same time at which the West German anti-authoritarian student movement started to thrive in the middle of the sixties, a small group of young activists from the extreme right tried to combine “left” habitual elements with the aspiration to develop a sophisticated and genuinely “right” political theory, eventually leading to a new, young, progressive stance beyond allegedly out-dated categorisations like “left” and “right.” The article examines these self-proclaimed “national revolutionaries” from a praxeological point of view, arguing that the political extremes are constituted rather habitually than ideologically.
