Nazis, National Socialists, white supremacists aren't the far right any more than Bolsheviks and the Khmer Rouge are the far left. There are entire ecosystems of idealogy such as deep ecology, reaction which have little to do with them intellectually.

You need to stop thinking in terms of the 'political spectrum'. That's an incomplete metaphor. It is more like a set of concentric circles, where the center is very similar and the edge is made out of very different groups.

It's exactly like how humans think. We have common ideas about some things, but then splinter off into other areas that are discrete when we think in more advanced ways.
