The Third Position is a set of neo-fascist political ideologies that were first described in Western Europe following the Second World War.[1][2][3] Developed in the context of the Cold War, it developed its name through the claim that it represented a third position between the capitalism of the Western Bloc and the communism of the Eastern Bloc.
