I'm not too sure about that,in the early 19th century racism,antisemitism and colonialism were widely respected beliefs even within the economic and cultural elite. Nowadays it is the contrary,I'm pretty sure that Wagner would feel very uncomfortable to be associated with "the poor and stupid" that attend most white supremacy movements.
