This is the fundamental flaw with conceiving of politics as points on a line. “Moderates” aren’t actually in the middle of things. They are their own political philosophy. But it’s not as though you add communism and fascism together and divide by two and you get neoliberalism. They are all distinct philosophies.

Yeah, and throwing in economic vs political classifications doesn’t simplify anything either.
