I think that the best characterization is to point out that Nazi’s and Communists (and Democrats) are STATISTS. They believe that the state is paramount and the individual is subordinate to the state.

Modern conservatives believe that governments are instituted to protect the rights of the INDIVIDUAL.

Democrats obscure the issue by holding up made up “rights” such as health care or issues like global warming. They claim that individuals need help. Their answer is always more government and government intrusion into private affairs.

Modern liberals do not really believe in “choice”. They believe that since they know better that results should be controlled and dictated by the state.

Ironic, isn’t it? It’s a pretty safe bet to reverse any thing claimed by democrats to find the truth of the matter. I haven’t found a single instance where it fails.

Tolerance.
Co-exist.
Choice.
Freedom.
Free speech.
Safe space.
Truth.
The list is pretty much endless. All of these memes mean the opposite.

Statists, the way you describe them almost mirrors Italian Fascism.

As for the political spectrum, Italian Fascists did not generally think of themselves as a movement of the right; that label was already reserved for the reactionary forces of the monarchy and the clergy. In his 1927 “The Political and Social Doctrine of Fascism,” Mussolini clearly states, “this will be a century of authority, a century of the Left, a century of Fascism,” which came from Jane Soames’ 1933 authorized English translation.[10] [11] In the next sentence, Mussolini continued and wrote: “For if the 19th century was the century of individualism (Liberalism always signifying individualism) it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism, and hence the century of the State” As most political scientists would acknowledge, “collectivism” is clearly an ideology pegged to the Left. President Herbert Hoover, in his 1934 book Challenge to Liberty, used the same phrase “century of the Left” when he quoted from Mussolini’s “Doctrine of Fascism>”
