About thirty years ago started the extreme right career Sassenheimse activist Tim Mudde (1965). Of skinhead in Netherlands Youth Front, he developed into a driving force and ideologue of the new right in Netherlands. Mudde is no mere theoretical ideologue. He is a man of action with his feet in the mud. He sat in skinhead bands, ran the Internet radio station Radio Rapaille, ran an animal rights club "With the Animals Against the Beasts" and maintained an international network with like-minded. Mudde liked connection in the Flemish movement. In recent years, he seemed tired of fighting. He was not understood by his fellow activists and many radicals do not want to walk in his path. Eind 2012 Mudde stops with his mail order Fenris Mail order and Radio Rapaille is taken over by others.
In that same year 2012 applying Mudde a job in Zaandam. The potential employer will find information on the Internet about his extreme right-wing activities and rejects him. Inspired by other right extremists who were challenging issues with varying success, Mudde filed a complaint with the Equal Treatment Commission (not: College voor de Rechten van de Mens). When he heard he is already acting on the seat to a period no longer active within the extreme right and he says he no longer actively promotes his ideology. However, he does not distance himself from his views. Mudde win the case because it is forbidden to discriminate on the grounds of political opinion.
Then it seems to still be around Tim Mudde. But blood is thicker than water, want in 2014 Mudde often for several mainstream animal rights actions. An action against the killing of stray dogs in Romania, he is on the Dam in Amsterdam to protest against mega stables and the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk, his action target in June 2014.
His companions these actions are not right-wing extremists, however,. Chances are that even they have no idea who is next to them. Is Tim Mudde geen rechtsextremist meer? Everything is of course possible, but to someone who has left his mark on a movement and who promoted such an elaborate ideology over such a long period, is that hard to believe. Also, social network and vast international circle of friends he will have not just thrown overboard. You may wonder if animal rights activist or you want to hang out with someone who has such ideas unfriendly man cherishes, at least for a selected portion of humanity. Especially since Mudde in public has never moved away from the right-wing extremism.
