What Nazism and Zionism are, are primal tribalism, irritated.

Nazism, by the loss in WW1 and the Kaiser, which represented the concept of the state. So there was no solid civil order and code to replace it, beyond retreating back to pagan tribalism. The Aryan Nation. As social super organisms, they have inherent immune responses to anything considered foreign or waste. The first people the Nazis started killing were invalids.

Zionism is a somewhat different creature. For one thing, Judaism sees its role as preserving those ancient roots, which do go back to their own Bronze Age tribal incarnation. The problem is this core has not really had a civil system/state to govern for the last 2000 years, beyond villages and ghettos, so it has not had that natural feedback between assumptions and external realities necessary to evolve, but has mostly retreated into a religious rabbit hole. Remember Ancient Israel was a monarchy. The Big Guy Rules. Like the religion.

Rome adopted Christianity for the monotheism, as Constantine finally brought the Empire together, after the fall of the Republic several hundred years prior. The Big Guy Rules.

Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures.

Then all the persecutions and pogroms gave rise to Zionism as radical Judaism. Aka, irritated tribalism.
