The alternative right has alternately been called libertarian nationalism, "neo"-paleoconservatism, "evolutionary" conservatism, "scientific" conservatism, and the post-'''religious right'''.<ref>https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/704462319074594816</ref>

== Style of Alt-right ==

==Distinction from National Socialism (Nazism)==

The style of the alt-right is to reject the approaches of the [[mainstream media]], and use the internet rather than traditional avenues of communication preferred by moderates.<ref>https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-American-alternative-right</ref>  

The alt-right seeks racial "identitarianism" through a largely monocultural state; and cultural cohesion over economic interests.<ref>http://www.amren.com/news/2016/10/what-is-the-alt-right-jared-taylor/</ref> The alt-right does not explicitly seek genocide of non-white races. It views national borders as a proxy for racial segregation, but does not support de facto racial segregation.  Mainstream alt-righter members support skilled immigration.

The alt-right employs a "culture jammming" approach to its opposition with memes on Reddit, 4chan, 9gag, and Facebook.<ref>

Relationally, neo-nazism is a component of the alt-right (big-tent movement); the alt-right is NOT a component of neo-nazism.  The alt-right heavily employs principles from Italian fascism which is the racially-agnostic predecessor of Nazism (German fascism).

Currently, there are growing tensions between the mainstream alt-right and the neo-Nazi wing. In September 2015, mainstream Alex Jones and neo-Nazi David Duke have also exchanged barbs, the former calling the latter a "Democratic plant" and the latter referring to his news organization, ''Infowars'', as being "infiltrated" by Zionists.'In November 2016, a feud broke out between neo-Nazi Richard B. Spencer (who, as previously stated, was one of the coiners of the term "alt-right") and Mike Cernovich, one of the most prominent alt-right meme-makers, after Cernovich publicly condemned Spencer and accused him of being controlled opposition for including the use of Nazi salutes at a pro-Trump victory party he held. Meanwhile, Paul Joseph Watson was harassed on Twitter by neo-Nazis after he posted a tweet that claimed that there were ''two'' alt-rights (the mainstream and the neo-Nazis), and that the neo-Nazi alt-right were "right-wing SJWs."

The alternative right holds neoliberalism responsible for the decimation of national borders and national identity. It views the rise of left-leaning governments as an effect of multicultural amalgamation caused by large  business interests run amok. Libertarian (anarcho-capitalistic) elements of the alt-right oppose Keynesianism as well which, paradoxically, is the national (as opposed to global) predecessor of neoliberalism.

In light of such ideological differences, it is important to debate how often the term "alt-right" should be used by those who claim to follow the mainstream version of it. On one hand, the term is an accurate description (the mainstream "alt-right" are an ''alternative'' to RINOs). But on the other hand, since the term is most commonly attributed to neo-Nazi Richard B. Spencer, it might not be smart to proclaim to belong to a term associated with him unless you actually agree with his core positions, and doing so could be considered as ideologically dishonest as the left's hijacking of the term "liberal."

 

Due to the alt-right's equation of globalized capitalism with Marxism, the movement has been compared to national anarchism (anarcho-fascism) on [[Wikipedia]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_and_nationalism</ref>

 

 

Currently, the two neo-Nazi alt-right wikis, Metapedia and Rightpedia (the latter which was created by neo-Nazis that think Metapedia isn't racist enough) portray Conservapedia in an extremely negative light. Just to be clear how deranged those websites are, at least one of them, and in many cases both of them, do the following:

In addition, Metapedia has attacked President Donald Trump for having Jewish allies, acquaintances, friends, and family members, whom the wiki lists under the title, "Donald Trump's Jewish Friends and Associates." This list is under the "See Also" section in their article about the President, who is listed under the category, "Zionists." Note that Metapedia is fervently anti-Zionist. These are attempts to demonize Trump by linking him with a malicious, destructive Jewish plot which doesn't exist.
