I've recently grown tired of fights over whether the Nazis were right-wing or left. My standard opinion is that the Natioal Socialist German Workers Party was left-wing. But even some Conservatives don't want to hear that.

Left, Right, Liberal, Conservative ... what does it all mean?

It seems to me that the Bad Guys in history are usually Collectivist. Mussolini and Hitler were both openly Collectivist. The US Democrats with their Identity Politics and lack of respect for private property seem openly Collectivist.

And although some liberals will attack Liberals, and in conversation it can be awkward to say "I'm not a Liberal, I'm a liberal.", I think the term Collectivist leaves no doubt as to their perceived location on the political spectrum.

Then by your (excellent) observation we here would be individualist. Therefore empowering the individual to determine his or her own fate, rather than leaving it up to a collective.
