Far right is totalitarian. We have now moved left as we are now advocating for individual freedoms. Human rights have become a progressive idea.

There is no "far right". Agreed.
Left / right paradigm doesn't exist.
Left and right was traditionally applied (since the french revolution) to only how one views the economy. Libertarian (i.e. a free market, private ownership etc.) vs Planned Edocnomy (i.e. communism). All of a sudden every policy/social policy, value-based policy and opinion had to be forced into this narrow worldview - including things like immigration policy, views on LGBT+^2, equality , environment or foreign policy. It's just nuts to call something "right wing" today, since so many of the social policies etc. completely differ according to the individual. That the "far right" is fascist, racist, etc. is just completely nuts and wrong and a mislabelling of the term "far right". "Far right" is as stated just pro individual freedom and private ownership. Just because these people keep trying to coerce new meanings onto words doesn't make them so.
