Rightness

The folks at altright are a serious bunch, conservative traditionalists. Paul Gottfried made comments about the members' attempts to construct a conservative reading list and in the process enunciated some basic conservative attitudes: natural inequality of persons at both the individual and collective levels, the inevitability and legitimacy of otherness, the superiority of organic forms of human organization over social engineering, rejection of vulgar economism, and a tragic view of life. 

Pretty clear opposition to liberal progressivism, which loves universal equality, pacifist inclusiveness, rational government-mandated social organization, the primacy of redistributive economics, and a utopian vision of life.
