Although the European New Right refrains from political violence, according to Roger Griffin it "clearly embodies a form of palingenetic ultranationalism and has earned the label 'fascist'". Aware that no more mass political movements can be formed after 1945, the New Right, according to Griffin, is deliberately moving "into a state of apoliteia beyond party politics, stoically awaiting a new historical conjuncture in which the postponed revolution can be resumed". The militant anti-Americanism of Alain de Benoist, for example, explicitly justifies attacks ("retaliatory measures") on the USA. According to Griffin, the Ordine Nuovo, which is responsible for several terrorist attacks, draws its main inspiration from the works of Julius Evola.

According to Volker Weiß, there is hardly any fundamental hostility towards Islam within the New Right. The reason for the aversion is "merely the presence of Islam in the greater European area". The "real conditions in Teheran, Riad, Istanbul oder Kabul" play no role for the representatives of the New Right - unlike in universalist thinking.

According to Griffin, the preferred target groups of the New Right's "culture war" are segments of society in which young people who have a certain tolerance for New Right positions can be found: e.g. fraternities and displaced persons. Other fields of agitation are neo-paganism and occultism. The Dark culture was also courted in the 1990s. The main starting point for this was Neofolk, a style of music in which some artists operate with fascist aesthetics. In addition to musical reviews, the fanzine Sigill (later Zinnober) also published essays on the work of Armin Mohler, Ernst Jünger, Julius Evola and others.

Some New Right groups refer to pre-Christian or non-Christian European traditions. Neo-paganism is "one of their founding figures, and they practice the corresponding cults with devotion", writes Friedrich Paul Heller. The Thule-Seminar, for example, sees a "European rebirth". According to Heller, it is not the number of members that is decisive here, but their role as cues. They had an impact on the music scene and esotericism.

The historian Walter Laqueur is of the opinion that the New Right ultimately failed to develop a coherent counter-position to Western-American liberalism.
