New religious movements and right-wing politics

Some new religious movements are linked to or contain elements of right-wing politics.

Falun Gong
Founded on the People's Republic of China in the 1990s by Li Hongzhi, after an initial spread and popularization it was brutally repressed by the Chinese government. Most of the movement spread outside of China including his founder Hongzhi who lives in the United States.

News outlets founded by adherents promote far-right anti-Communist and anti-CCP positions. Falun Gong is affiliated with several news outlets including The Epoch Times and New Tang Dynasty Television, along with several YouTube channels, in several languages. These outlets have been criticized for promoting far right conspiracy theories and pseudoscience, been amicable to Germany's far-right party Alternative for Germany and the anti-Islamic movement Pegida, the French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen and a very staunch support for Donald Trump's campaign.

New Acropolis
Argentinian esoteric group founded by former Theosophist Jorge Angel Livraga, the New Acropolis Cultural Association has been described by scholars as an ultra-conservative, neo-fascist and white supremacist paramilitary group. Although the organization itself denies such descriptions. Former NA member Miguel Martínez claims that Livraga bragged about been closed to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and supported the Uruguayan and Chilean dictatorships.

Soka Gakkai
The Soka Gakkai is a Japanese new religious movement of Nichiren Buddhism notably associated to the Komeito party, a conservative anti-communist party and the main coalition partner of the right-wing dominant Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.

Unification Church
Founded by North Korean born Sun Myung Moon, the Unification Church held a strong anti-Communist position. The Unification Church supported Republican President Richard Nixon and rallied in his favor after the Watergate scandal, with Nixon thanking personally for it. They also endorsed Republican candidate Bob Dole.

In April 1990, Moon visited the Soviet Union and met with President Mikhail Gorbachev. Moon expressed support for the political and economic transformations underway in the Soviet Union. At the same time, the movement was expanding into formerly communist nations. In 1994, The New York Times recognized the movement's political influence, saying it was "a theocratic powerhouse that is pouring foreign fortunes into conservative causes in the United States." In 1998, the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram criticized Moon's "ultra-right leanings" and suggested a personal relationship with conservative Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Unification Church also owned several news outlets including The Washington Times and the News World Communications network. Opinion editor Charles Hurt was one of Donald Trump's earliest supporters in Washington. In 2018, he included Trump with Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II as "great champions of freedom." In 2016 The Washington Times did not endorse a presidential candidate, but endorsed Trump for reelection in 2020.

Others
Organitzations like the Mexican far-right group El Yunque, which sponsored the Spanish far right party Vox, the QAnon conspiracy theory,  the LaRouche movement and the growing neo-pentecostal political influence in Latin America have been described as "cults" or new religious movements.

Some Occult and Neo-völkisch movements including Esoteric Nazism, the Order of Nine Angles, Christian Identity, the World Church of the Creator and Nordic Racial Paganism are classified as neo-Nazi and white supremacist.
