:: The American Alt-Right is distinct from the European "New Right" in the sense that it has a libertarian component. Illustrations of the libertarian-fascist alliance https://goo.gl/photos/4ySTJz3PMxPGbf13A. Europe has a sparse history of libertarianism while libertarianism is culturally embedded (with and without a name) into American political history. Thus in Europe as in the case of Hitler you can be conservative AND support big government (as long as you tribalize yourself by race or nation). In the classic political spectrum, which includes the European definition of conservatism, the government becomes more totalitarian the farther right and the farther left you go (understandable why this is confusing to American conservativism, which is a liberalized (deregulated) variant of classical liberalism). German fascism (Nazism) declares that "nationalism is the only true form of socialism." The alt-right (originally) declared that "racialism is the only form of socialism" meaning that the cultural norms created by racial tribalism could replace the government itself. With the entrance of nationalist libertarians the alt-right's focus on racialism has become more abstruse but is still immutable. Matt Parrot, one of the founding fathers of the current alt-right, explains the original alt-right members' problem with economic libertarianism (and Jewish 'influence') http://www.counter-currents.com/2012/02/the-real-ron-paul-scandal/ [[User:Kashifv|Kashifv]] ([[User talk:Kashifv|talk]]) 20:43, 6 February 2017 (EST)

I think it is more complicated than that. See: [The 'New Right' and the 'Alt-Right' Party on a Fractious Night].
From The Atlantic re: American right-winger Mike Cernovich"
“I think the battle lines are pretty clear now,” Cernovich said. “We have a nice line of demarcation, so I’m happy with where I am and how it shook out. There’s the alt-right which wants to do white identity politics, and then there’s people like me and Jeff who, we want to do nationalism without white identity politics, and now everybody knows where I stand and everybody knows where everybody else is, so I’m thrilled with the development.” - [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/the-new-right-and-the-alt-right-party-on-a-fractious-night/514001/ The 'New Right' and the 'Alt-Right' Party on a Fractious Night], JAN 20, 2017
American and world politics is very much in a state of flux with new factions developing on the right. And there are only so many catchy/snazzy marketing terms like "New Right"/Alt-right and we have people vying terms like "new right" without necessarily knowing the past of these terms.
