A lot of what you object to is the result of the nature of human beings and governments. I'm not so sure that it's so easy to isolate it in the ideologies you don't like.

You might be surprised at what governments and countries and individuals of all stripes are capable of. It was the Republicans who helped give us the income tax, and Kuehnelt-Leddihn's beloved Austrian monarchy that did so much to give us the First World War and all that came with it.

One of the starting points of totalitarianism is that it did to a country's own population what governments had long been doing to foreigners and outsiders.
