    Far right doesn’t mean more “liberalism”, it means to the right of liberalism. right wing and left wing describe a spectrum within liberalism. Far right and far left are when you step outside the boundaries of liberalism. Whether that takes the form of collectivism or individualism isn’t really material to whether it’s outside the liberal spectrum. What is material is the belief in the democratic process and capitalism.

      So the more centrist the more individualist, and the closer to the extremities the more collectivist? That’s not a perspective I’ve heard before. But I guess what I question again is then what makes something right wing? Leftwing is usually described as vaguely Marxist- but how is a monarchist and a fascist in the same category?

        No, that’s not what I said. If anything I’m saying you can’t reduce the political spectrum to individualist vs collectivist.
