Fascism
The nation is everything. The individual, nothing.
Fascism is extreme nationalism with a dictator on top: one party only, the leader treated like a god, crushing all opposition, and mobilising the masses for national rebirth. It glorifies violence and war. Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany are the defining cases, and Nazism added the racial ideology behind the Holocaust.
What they'd say
Everything within the state, nothing outside it.
