Spencer's views are different than most people on the "far right". He started out as a Marxist, became a race realist, believes governments should exercise strong authority, but still keeps many of his old Marxist views.
I'd say Spencer is closest to a French Right philosopher like Guillaume Faye (I like Faye a lot more than Spencer though, especially his books Archeofuturism and Why We Fight).
They both believe in the importance of race and genetics. They're both in favour of strong governments to promote the interests of the people, and they both believe in promoting entrepreneurship but while having enough taxation to provide for the needs of the poor. Both believe in the "Faustian spirit" of white people -- Spencer uses that phrase a lot, Faye doesn't, but they both view white people through that lens.
They both have very imperialistic views. Spencer has no problem with the US government exercising its military muscle around the world, and Faye is in favour of a large federation stretching from the Atlantic to Siberia to fight for and defend European interests.
For differences, I'd say Spencer is more anti-Jewish while Faye is anti-Islam, and even quite anti-American. I haven't read Faye in a couple of years, but that's what I remember off the top of my head.
Why? What's his reasoning? Is it because Biden was for many years a tacit segregationist?
Because Spencer has been an alphabet since the start
Richard Spencer turned against Trump long ago. He called Trump's tweets something you would hear from your "drunk uncle" during his CNN appearance in July 2019. https://www.theroot.com/cnn-invites-white-supremacist-richard-spencer-to-explai-1836455536

Interesting. Thanks for explaining, never knew any of that.
Reading why we fight right now.
What similarity do you see between them?

Interesting, thanks for taking the time to reply
