Describe the basics of American right-wing ideology. How is it different from the left-wing movement in America?

What will be an ideal response


American right-wing ideology envisions having a homeland population that is homogeneous with respect to ethnicity, language, culture, and beliefs, as well as a systematic rejection of all those who are different. The right rests on the notion that "being American" equates to emanating from European Anglo-Saxon stock, being Christian, nationalistic, and
ruggedly independent. Right-wing movements have been growing since 2000 . Right-wing movements and politics are conservative, and can become extreme or far right.

The traditional objective of left-wing terrorism is to overthrow the economic, political, and social structure of a society and replace it with one developed on Marxist-Lenist principles. In the United States, the left wing originally sprang from labor/working class movements seeking to eliminate class distinctions,130 setting the stage for later developments such as the Communist Party USA. The violent left has not received a great deal of attention in recent years because it is not considered a serious threat.
