"Nazi Punching": Good or Bad?

None of those one-dimension models really work. Much better are examples with two or more axis.

For example, “Archy” complete government control (could be a king in Saudi Arabia, Hitler, or Stalin) – to Anarchy being but one axis

There are about thirty models. Here is the common “Political Compass.” It still has many flaws, but is far superior to a one dimension left-right.
