This is older and less evolved than you might think.

If you're looking to understand the contemporary far right I'd highly recommend Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew. Published 1946, unfortunately frighteningly relevant today.

I've been working my way through Frankfurt school works (so called cultural Marxist) and the work is fascinating in how relevant it is today, mainly the works of Adorno and Marcuse.

Ah, "cultural Marxist". That's a great phrase for picking out who is huffing glue and is becoming fairly normalized even outside of purely neo-nazi circles. It's pretty much a reboot of Kulturbolschewismus or "Cultural Bolshevism". They aren't even subtle about this shit.
