N2 - The paper critically explores the dialectic relationships between the new left and the far right in advanced industrial democracies regarding the question of politics of identity. Whereas the former advocates a politics of inclusion, adopting multicultural democracy as its guiding principle both in intraparty praxis and as its vision for post-national Europe, the latter has reappropriated the discourse of identity to serve its politics of exclusion. The unintended consequences are that the new left has relegitimized - both politically and theoretically - the far right. In terms of realignment, it may well be that both extremes find themselves realigned on the same end of the material/cultural dimension.
