When German Anarchists in WW1 backed Nietzsche (who thought he was a aristocratic conservative, despite also being a young hegelian in orientation by adopting Max Stirner's ideology).
You also had Russian Aristocratic Nihilist like Kropotkin. Also in the Spanish Civil War the faction that attracted the most conservatives from a American prespective was the Anarchists, who when federalized looked familiar. Our Anarcho-Capitalists (typically tradesmen like Plumbers) tend to align as conservative small businessmen.
The european Left-Right spectrum is artifical and inherently unstable. It started during the French Revolution for which faction sat on which side of the table. It has little bearing to something like a Kyklos Cycle able to predict ideological transformations systemmatically. What is called the right in Europe often looks bizarre from a conservative American perspective.
