Nationalism is about collectivism based on political boundaries.Conservative and Libertarian American jingoists are a good example.

Humanitarianism is about treating all individuals fairly and equally, no matter what other groups they could be placed in.

From this aspect of political philosophy, the conservatives are indeed much closer to Communism than the progressives.

None of the above.
