Far-right politics as a purpose[edit]

While there are citations to support the claim that the organisation is far-right (as there also are supported claims it is right-wing), in what way is far-right politics (and only far-right politics and not right-wing politics) a purpose of the group? I have seen no evidence to support the claim that the groups purpose is to spread far-right political ideas. To be clear, I'm not denying the possibility of the political position of the group, but questioning the authenticity of this being a 'purpose' of the organisation.

And here you are again trying to tendentiously sanitise the far-right by pushing for the edition of the cover all term right-wing to make the position "right-wing to far-right" which is not supported by sources and doesn't make logical sense as the far-right is right-wing, it is a tautology.

Try addressing the issue at hand. What you've written is pointless. All I was questioning here was how it could be reasoned that far-right politics is a purpose of the group. I called for no other changes. Helper201 (talk) 04:46, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are pushing for the catch all term on numerous European radical right pages in direct conflict with academic consensus and with very flimsy sourcing to back your claim. That definitely looks tendentious and it's worth commenting on. I invite you to participate in this rfc I've started on the term right-wing. Bacondrum (talk) 05:02, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pan-European?[edit]

The title describes Pegida as a Pan-European organization. However, I have never heard of a "-gida" branch outside Germany. Maybe "Pan-German" would be a more accurate wording? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horchatamivida (talkcontribs) 08:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Political Mislabeling[edit]

“Neo Nazi” really? The logo literally has A SWASTIKA BEING THROWN AWAY. And the leader was kicked out after posing as Hitler. It seems like this article was written by an American leftist with no idea what Pegida even is. 24.88.68.183 (talk) 16:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying not Neo-Nazi? That article says "Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology." Anyway, this American restored neo-Nazi after it was removed. Doug Weller talk 16:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
