On a political spectrum, in terms of authoritarianism (more government to less government), it would look something more like this (top is left, moving down moves right):
Dictatorship
Monarchy
Communism (International socialism)
Facism (national socialism... Nazis)
Classical liberalism
Libertarianism
Anarchy
The constitutional federal republicanism of the USA is in that classical liberalism range. It's only "far right" from the perspective of those to the left of it, e.g. socialists.
Authoritarianism requires the strictest adherence to government, while depriving personal liberties. While it's true that hypothetically, a righteous monarchy could be the best protector if the people, unfortunately historical tendency indicates that far more often than not, absolute monarchs deprive subjects of liberties much more than the government of a constitutional republic. No King but King Jesus. So until His return, we avoid monarchies as much as possible.
Fascism and national socialism are one in the same, albeit with different originators. Both advance collective nationalism, under one party rule with a dictatorial leader. The common claim is that "national socialism = Nazism" and contains an inherent racial superiority agenda. Both assertions are incorrect. Nazism was a type of national socialism that did embrace a German sense of white Aryan superiority. But not all national socialist groups do. You could just as well have a national socialist movement in an African country, or an Asian country. But most importantly, the key difference between Fascism and Communism, is that the latter advances international collectivism. Hence, why the Germans and Italians during the 1930s-40s, as fascists, so vehemently opposed the soviet communists, especially when the Jewish Bolshevik element was considered. And yet, they were all totalitarian socialists...
Yes, neoliberalism is a bastardization of classical liberalism. This is why we shouldn't really call Democrats liberals anymore, but rather Leftists, because they pretty much threw the whole individual liberties thing out the window, in favor of "protecting" collective "rights" by way of stronger authoritarian government control.
