... in other words, Nazis (emphases added):
Quote:
Spencer proposed the following "mantra" for his movement: "Race is real, race matters, and race is the foundation of identity." The ultimate ideal is that the world be divided into ethno-states so that white people could have a "homeland."
...
Spencer continued, "It really is about him and it's about, in a way, projecting onto him our hopes and dreams. There's something called 'meme magic,'* and that is a self-fulfilling prophecy…We want to make Trump; we want to imagine him in our image. And that is maybe—you can see that in a meme of Trump as a Napoleon or Trump as some figure out of the Dune novels in an arcade of the future in a robotic suit of armor fighting enemies. All of that stuff is silly, all of that stuff is ridiculous, but it actually gets at something real and that is that we want something more, we want something heroic, we want something that is not defined by liberalism or individual rights or bourgeois norms. We want something that is truly European and truly heroic."
For this description, Spencer was greeted with much applause by his fans in the room. He elaborated that rather than a multicultural America, his ideal is a white empire. He described his "dream…ethno-state" as "a homeland for all Europeans," which would take an "imperial form."

Their ideology includes elements of both white nationalism (and also white supremacy) and socialism (from the mocking references to "individual rights" and "bourgeois norms", making them national socialists. In German, the word is national Sozialist, from which the word Nazi is derived. We're dealing with new-age Nazis here.

Some are (especially European ones)
Some are national classic liberals/libertarians (especially those in the US)
Some are just national liberals
The main theme is nationalism.
Which is why "Alt-Right" is a silly term. It's far too diverse to label it one thing or the other, other than being nationalist (and nationalism can be left or right).
