There is only a single spectrum that defines government that actually matters:
How much freedom and how many rights the government leaves the individual versus how much control the bureaucrats seize.
Any government that takes individual rights and freedoms is bad, whether it does so based on tradition or based on socialism. Keep in mind Nazis were National Socialists… Communists were socialists as well… socialism has no way to motivate the individual other than force, so the people end up with no rights living a nightmare.
