This article aims at summarizing theoretical and critical elements of the different graduations of the far right nowadays, as well as situating some of its historical configurations and contemporary tendencies in Brazil and in countries where its presence has become clearer in the past years. It results from a thematic seminar organized by Nepedh (Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Ética e Direitos Humanos - PUC-SP) and, although it does not work out the complexities of the theme, it indicates relevant elements for the political agenda of the left, in the face of the barbarism and manifestations of irrationalism inside bourgeois sociability.
