"Alt-right" is the label that racial realists gave themselves. Richard Spencer's news website (now defunct) was alt-right.org, I believe.

Because the "alt-right" gave themselves a name to cover up their previous names of white nationalists/white supremacists..

Ultra lefty left leaning folks haven't labeled themselves anything other than socialists or progressive.

The term 'alt' is short for alternative, not extremists... something I thought was obvious. The alt-right is meant to be an alternative to mainstream conservatism. While alternatives to mainstream liberalism exist, they're either just not represented anywhere or aren't actually radically different from mainstream liberalism.

Alt Right is a way to disguise extreme racism and beliefs of cultural superiority. There is no Left that preaches these evils.
