In reality NSDAP abolished private property, the change that in so called Weimar Constitution which still was base of law in Nazi regime. Then by law and practice Nazi Germany were as Left wing as you can go.
And I do not agree thath in whole Europe political doctrins have the same ramification. You can see that quite visable between Western and Central-East Europe. Many philosophers and politicak scientist in Central-East Europe pointed that Comunism, Fascism and Nazism share many characteristics. But all of them also came from Socialism and modernism. But in the same time for propaganda reasons all eegimes were using elemwnts od past as founding atone of their iseology, communist in USSR loved to claim tat any society in he past qas representtion of oppresive elites against "proto-ploretariat", even in ancient times. Fascism and Nazism ofent showed past as soucw of their core values, but in reality all of those were for post-modern model of humanity. New man thay will be shaped onmy by state and Party. Even family will become part of state socialisation. Kids will be property of state qnd parents will lost all their parental rights.
Going even farther communists do not have any problem to operate as nationalistic movement, USSR after WW2 became basically emanation of Russin shauvinism and nationalism, all non-russin cultures were targeted to Russification. Vietnam and North Korea also became very nationalistic. Even China in the core do not recognise any deviation from maistreem communist version of Chinese culture. Tibet and Uygurs are examples of this effect. There is no Tibetan communism, it is just Chinese eradication of Tibetan culture.
It is going so far that communist countries fought againat eachother, Vietnam fought both Rouge Khmers and Mao's China. China fought USSR.
I am not saying that authoritarism is not possiable as a Riht Wing regime. But I will point that Totalitarism is Left Wing phenomenon. It is based on important basis of Left Wing ideology. Individual rights are always beind collective ones, property rights are hevku regulated or removed by ruling regime. Goal of colectivism is creation of new man that is more perfect than "old man" of previous eras. When Right wing always will put private property as basic right. Family as basic social strucure with oarental control over kids, which do not mean that state will not force some sort of state ideology on families. And Right as dogma do not look for creatooj of mew man, himan beeing is always the same for Right wing, product od his time and society.
Yes both sides can be undemocratic, but there are always differences on basic level.
