Operation Gladidn’t
This made me curious if the CIA ever accidentally did that, and I did some looking around. I couldn't find one.
Far right politicians are usually big fans of the US for some reason, which makes the US not want to remove them. I wonder why that is?
Actually they did in the dominican republic one time, overthrowing their fascist puppet and allowing a "liberal anti-communist" in but then undid it when the guy tried to do anything positive, shot him, couped haiti, and reinstalled the fascist from earlier.

they helped nassar remove the king in egypt that one time. They also named their operation "Project FF (fat fucker)", the main reason for this was farouk was a complete incompetent moron for a puppet. Too lazy, hedonistic, scummy, and in general the most incompetent ruler ever, so before any actual anti-imperialist revolution happened, they tried getting more competent people. Nassar tricked the CIA so that was funny.

This is literally the timeline where the US backed "christian democrats". Those motherfuckers are far right too
and christian democrats are evil!
social democrats are controlled opposition liberals but they aren't ideologically against basic human rights for minorities
"But what if the CIA funded the Maoists this time? 
They did in Italy
They did in Portugal

There are allegations that the CIA funded Castro in the lead up to the revolution, although obviously the CIA is silent on this.
That was probably just a case of 
Imagine thinking they ever did anything remotely close to that.

NED and other "civil society organizations": 
The CIA did fund the Finnish succdems, but that was when the USSR was still around, so now you're SOL.
Tbf I don't find this prospect unthinkable since some far-right parties in europe aren't quite as aligned with american strategy as others.
For example Le Pen (who is almost certainly winning in 2028), the german AfD and Orban have dissented, in different measures, to the establishment's position on ukraine and china. If a far-right party were to reach power in one of the big EU countries and they were expected to shift europe away from the US I don't see why the americans WOULDN'T interfere.
I think it’s the other way around. Michael Hudson said back in the 1970s the people from the State Department already told him that they knew the challenge to US establishment in the future would come from the European left, not the right, so they spent decades infiltrating every soc dem and leftist party and promoted US-leaning politicians groomed under their wing.
They were never worried about the far right, nor should they be, because the European far right will never pose a real challenge to the US or capital. If you really want proof, look at Meloni’s Italy.
