First google result. Richard Spencer coined the term alt Right. He is a Nazi who tends to get punched in the face a lot.

Eventually they split into alt Right and alt Light. They don't like each other other.

The M-Antifa or Autonomous Block do indeed show a more militant or actionist approach to issues but only a historical pleb would compare them to SA brownshirts. SA brownshirts were "our guys on the street fighting the good fight" for the NSDAP honchos who rather liked to commune in beerhalls or coffeehouses to debate the finer details and disliked the idea of making their hands dirty. They were the promoted extension of the NSDAP and consisted of hitmen, convicted criminals and ruffians who'd like themselves to beat up some "Reds". The NSDAP together with the DNVP were organized parties and they actually had the SA hired when it came to public events where the NSDAP wanted to promote themselves, only the DNVP until 1933 shunned the SA because they had their own militant arm (Stahlhelm) which saw itself in a more traditional military rather tradition rather than a bunch of bloodlusty troglodytes which the SA was regarded as by some. Nevertheless when it came to open political violence neither cut short on the hated Reds (communists, leftist socialdemocrats and socialists).
The modern M-Antifa does not necessarily have aligned goals with the political far Left or P-Antifa nor is one the extension of another since neither are actually operating as unified bloc or global party, they are cell-based organization losely organized by snippets of various manifests some more radical, some more moderate than others. In fact the militants do not and will never realize that they are actually resorting to methods that their predecessors often had to endure and that's where Nazi comparisons often kick in. Established Left parties in Germany do respect - in retrospective due to what happened to antifascists, communists, socialdemocrats and socialist during the Nazi times - their commitment to resist fascism and are honouring that tradition by having similar position in their modern manifests however they do abstain from the classic and often violent approaches of their predecessors in the late 1920s since these days with democratic institutions intact there is no need for it anymore. However it has been said that in state governments some Leftists have contacts to either type of Antifa, even so: Antifa meeting modern Left (Linke) politician doesn't mean it's going to be an amicable encounter.
Basically: Do not mix up M-Antifa with political Antifa/leftist activists with the political Left, they are not synonymous with each other. It'd be like saying a neonazi is a populist is a Conservative.

It's important to note the Nationalism part here, since that's generally a far-right position.
Fascism is also characterized by a fetishization of the military - a right-wing trait - as well as a near total integration of the military into civilian life (which 'Communist' regimes did too, to be fair).
Which countries? When last I checked, even the "Socialist hell-holes" of Scandinavia had Conservative political parties.
It's generally in the country's best interest to have the government take control of sectors that should not be run for profit, like public healthcare, etc. That way, if things aren't being run to standard, the public can hold the government accountable for it.
Here in Australia, we have an exceptionally good public healthcare system - as much as the Liberal (conservative) Party desperately wants to see it dismantled. Even God-Emperor Trump himself sang its praises (which was baffling).
if you punch nazis then actually you are the real nazi
am i doing this right
The nazis were actually commies, antifa are actually fascists and humans are actually uhh ,,, cats
