Default Do we need a different term for "Far Right" extremists?

I'm largely indifferent when it comes to politics but on most things I either don't care or lean right, and I have nothing in common with the extremists who are increasingly making a nuisance of themselves.
Nor do any prominent right wing politicians, who are closer to being neoliberalists than anything else. Most are either pro-gay or don't take an active position. Most are for limited immigration. None support the acts of terror carried out by right wing extremists.

I've noticed that feathers get ruffled around here when such extremists are referred to as right wing, and I can see why. Maybe it'd be more productive if they were just labelled as neo-nazis, as absolutely no-one with a brainstem identifies with them, and fascism doesn't fit easily into the left-to-right scale as it contains elements of both extremes, sitting on top of the horseshoe.
