Because our country is inherently within the classical liberalism spectrum, most ideologies fit along the original and modern dilemmas. The original dilemma concerns itself with freedom v. order, the modern concerns itself with freedom v. equality. Within classical liberalism, all of the ideologies believe in limited government, to an extent and for certain things.
The four overarching ideological boxes we use for these are libertarianism, liberalism, conservatism, and communitarianism.
The alt-right movement does fall within the conservatism square because conservatism does not call for small government when dealing with societal order.

My problem with the "Alt right" name given to these people is that it disguises who and what they really are. These people should NOT be called some alternative name like "alt right" because it gives them something to hide behind. They should be identified by what they really are which is white supremacists.
After all, it was white supremacists who came up with the term "alt right" anyway. Everyone else just simply adopted it as an identifier for some strange reason. Think about it.
