Got in a somewhat argument with a friend about this. I was under the impression that it was essentially far right with a different name for the sake of being different. His take was “It’s like just the good parts of socialism”

    1st position = conservative liberal thought
    2nd position = marxist/socialist/communist thought

    3rd position is syncreticism. Basically people who rejected liberalism and Marxism and wanted to take aspects of both left and right. This comes in various forms. Otto Strasser wanted the economics of the socialists but the social ideology of the far right. He was an important figure in the left wing of the NSDAP, which was purged during the night of the long knives. Fascism and Nazism are considered third position, but third position is not limited to fascism.
