Far right means very conservative. Very conservative means do things the way we did them back in the idealized partly mythical good old days.

In Europe that means aristocratic privilege and despotism.

In America that means the ideal of liberty.

Well this is a bit tricky though. Conservative in current America want change, change to bring back the best parts of America dumped over the years by the left.

The Left has become profoundly reactionary, wanting to primarily maintain the status quo at all costs. Look at leftist views on abortion, social security, the structure of the media, etc.

This does lead to the Dem's media calling a small government Republican from America and a raving communist lunatic from Russia both conservative of course, but the Dem's media do such for the obvious reasons.

Outside of the UK there are precious few examples of the type of pro-freedom right we have in the US. In most of the world the political contests are truly between international and national socialists when you break it down.
