Only problem is, our idealogy is American conservatism. Its the exact opposite of neo nazism and communism.
I think of it as english conservatism because our particular brand of conservatism seems to be pretty much exclusive to english speaking countries. We aren't exactly alike but American, Canadian, Australian, and British conservatives could probably find a political home in each other's nations.
The Nazis are always labled "right wing" but their political ideology was more in tune with the American left.
"Workers of all lands, unite to smash the rule of English capitalism! You young upward-striving nations of the earth, combine to annihilate the old English dragon who blocks the treasures of the earth and withholds from you the riches of the world."
-Robert Ley, German labor Front leader under Hitler. (Hitler's Trumpka)

We do have much in common with conservatives in these other nations you mention.
I use “American conservatism” to mean a conservation of liberty based on the U.S. Constitution.
