In my view Europe has four political dangers: (1) the danger of Fundamentalist religious extremist movements (the Islamo fascist Islamist radicals), (2) a far right terror network (Blood & Honour, Combat 18, Football hooligang gangs with criminal connections and etc.), (3) far left extremism (from the Anarchist Black Block, the violent squater movement (= a sort of autonomous international in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Great-Britain, the Czech republic, Poland, and Italy - these people have an European network -, they call themselves Antifa which means antifascists, and their media are Indymedia) and (4) the extremist branch of the environmental movment and animal right movement (who attack companies, people and intstitutions).
The fifth danger could be organised crime and the legalisation of that in white wash operations. Another danger are temporary coalitions between the different extremes, like a short cooperation between nazi's and communist in Berlin between in the period 1930-1931.
The Nazi-Communist cooperation before the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact
The Red equals Brown theory was based on the occasional cooperation of the KPD (Communist) and NSDAP (Nazi) for instance at the time of the Nazi-inspired referendum agains the Social Democratic government of Prussia in Augst 1931 and the strike of workers in the Berlin transportation system in November 1932, when the Nazi's allied themselves with Communists against the Social Democrats in the wage dispute.
Both the workers parties (SPD and KPD) failed to serious adress the potential attractiveness of the NSDAP for some workers.
