Well first how y'all been?
second I have read that the key to understanding a conservative is to to understand Reverence. For a liberal it Empathy or sometimes Justice.
What are the keys for understanding libertarians, anarchists, Nazis etc?

Libertarianism (I'm guessing right-Libertarian) is freedom, anarchism is equality, and fascism is honor or something. These are all just generalizations, and different ones cross themes.

Fascism is apathy and national pride.
Anarchism is equality as said by JNathanK.
Libertarianism is liberty.

I found this an interesting approach on the difference between conservative and liberal thought.

Liberty, Equality, and Solidarity are key to understanding social democracy.

Liberalism is a greatly increased level of pseudo-kinship. Everyone feels empathy and compassion for family members (kin) and friends (pseudo-kin), and to some degree for other members of their community / social class / ethnicity. But liberals are capable of caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated people they have never met or interacted with, regardless of their culture, ethnicity, or social status.

Many liberals extend the same compassion to non-human organisms (not just their own pets but also, say, the flora and fauna of the Alaskan tundra).

I did not know that until your question informed me of it.
