If you refer to their politics: I would hardly call it protectrionist. Protectionism refers solely to economic policies. The FN has far more policies than just economic ones - if they represent any economic model at all, besides "buy french only" |
I read the wiki entry on the party (since I knew nothing about them other than they routinely get called "far right." I don't see them as "right" at all. Then again my benchmark for far-right would be a Libertarian (minimal government involvement in personal OR economic matters).
Nationalism is not a "right" or a "left" thing. The CCCP was every bit as nationalistic as any country or ideology described as "far right." Ditto the PRC, or any other "far left" system. So if a definition of "far right" includes nationalism, it's a bad definition. Communist states used to also source products internally by force (you had no choice in the CCCP but to "buy Soviet!"). So that's not "right," either. If they are going to describe them as "far right" I'd like to see the criteria for assigning "right" to them.
