One could accurately call them 'batshit extremists' of the right wing, I guess.  But, the broader 'far right' umbrella label is accurate as well, as the Proud Boys are described in the article I linked.

Their leader, McInnes, has worked to disassociate the Proud Boys from the "alt-right" label they used to brandish after the Heather Heyer murder at the 2017 Unite the Right rally and the subsequent conviction of Proud Boy Alex Ramos for the brutal assault of DeAndre Harris at the same rally.

That 2017 rally was organized by white supremacist leader Richard Spencer, from whom McInnes has since distanced himself.  McInnes says his Proud Boys are not 'alt-right' and now brands them as 'alt-lite'.  

McInnes explained that he and his Proud Boys don't share Spencer's racism.  And, the Proud Boys did not attend the 2018 Unite the Right rally organized by former Proud Boy Jason Kessler, who McInnes says he kicked out when Kessler's racist agenda became clear.
