Thanks for the comment. The KKK and the neo-Nazis certainly aren't conservative. Whether they should be called far-left or far-right is an interesting question, as is the related matter of whether the left-right spectrum as commonly understood and used makes much sense.
As that spectrum is commonly understood and used, (including by me in this post), the KKK and the neo-Nazis are far-right. But Nazis belong on the left of what's arguably a more sensible spectrum, which would place authoritarians at one end and libertarians at the other.
You gave the KKK and neo-Nazi as examples of far right extremism, yet they are not representative of right wing political philosophy. They are representative of far left. These groups both believe in authoritarian rule, lack of religious tolerance, lack of individual civil rights.
