Well the basics of a collectivist system is the belief in the good of the many outweighing the good of the individual. And therein lies the purported goals of Nazism and Communism. The Nazis did try to appeal to the working class. A blue-collar sort of regime. For the third Reich, the good of the many, Germans, did outweigh the good of the Germans who opposed the regime, the disabled, and all the convenient minorities who were used as a scapegoat.
The Communists always appealed to the working class. It was "The People's Revolution." Just like how China is the People's republic. Once again, majority rules. But of course, this majority is represented by a very small elite minority. Just like the Nazis, only the Nazis could have even fewer truly powerful individuals.
Nazism and Communism are variants of Collectivism. But not Collectivism perfectly.
