Abstract

The alt-right imposed itself as a rapidly expanding political phenomenon at the beginning of the 21st century, positioning itself as the central axis of American white nationalist thought and distinguishing itself from the currents of thought that prevailed within the American right. However, as happened at its birth, its demise was just as rapid as its emergence, as a consequence of two events: the Charlottesville incident in 2017 and the occupation of the U.S. Congress in 2021. This paper will attempt to explain the rise and fall of the alt-right, the currents of thought by which it has been influenced, from paleoconservatism to right-libertarianism, focusing on ideas such as those of Hans Hermann Hoppe. On the other hand, it will analyze how the alt-right differs from the most popular currents of the "Trumpist" right, such as Breitbart or Infowars, distinguishing itself by its academic tone and its intention to reflect a deep intellectual rigor.
