(some anti-capitalist right wingers advocate things like mutualism, communitarianism, agrarianism, and distributism).

These beliefs would not be held by the "right-wingers" associated with conservatism today and would be considered socialist, for example, on FR.

I believe that these beliefs would fall more into the "Clinton-Blair" mold which if adopted leads to more and more State control (as happened after Herzl I might add).

You are very naive. European rightism has always been very, very different from American rightism. The European Right has always been statist and anti-individualist and regarded capitalism as subversive and revolutionary. And I'm not talking about Blair and Clinton. I'm talking about Spanish Falangism, British distributism (Chesterton and Belloc), and national syndicalism (there is an American National Syndicalist party online that actually links to the John Birch Society).

Herzl never ran a state in his entire life and is not implicated in the socialism of the Second `Aliyah, much less for the socialism of the early State of Israel (on whose government his utopian book had no influence on whatsoever).
