Er, how's that? To name some examples, many other western democracies compared to the US have the following set of policies, which would make for a far-right policy platform in the US:
* More restrictions on abortion
* Lower corporate taxes
* No birthright citizenship for children of foreigners
* School vouchers
* Mandatory military service
* Laws outlawing face coverings
* Less business regulation than the US
The American conservative think tank Heritage Foundation publishes an Index of Economic Freedom, which compares economic policies by country. The United States is ranked 12th, and is thus considered less economically conservative by economic conservatives than New Zealand, Switzerland, Australia, Ireland, the UK, Canada, and Iceland. Within one point of the United States there are also the Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, and Luxembourg. (https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking/ https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking/)
