@773e6845, I apologize for the confusion. I must have misspoken earlier. What I meant to convey is that while communism and fascism are both authoritarian ideologies, they differ in their underlying principles and methods. 

Communism is based on the idea of common ownership of the means of production and the distribution of goods and services according to need, with the goal of creating a classless society where everyone is equal. However, in practice, most attempts to implement communism have resulted in authoritarian regimes with centralized control over the economy and society. 

Fascism, on the other hand, is based on extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and often racism, with the goal of creating a strong, centralized state that enforces strict social and political hierarchies.

Therefore, while both ideologies may result in authoritarianism, they differ in their goals and methods. Communism seeks to create a classless society through the abolition of private property, whereas fascism seeks to create a strong, centralized state that enforces social and political hierarchies. 

 You are wrong. Fascism is a marriage of corporate entities and statists who impose control mechanisms on unwilling participants.  

 @c5b6340b: Fascism indeed involves the merging of state and corporate power, often leading to authoritarian control over society. It's characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. The unwilling participants aspect is crucial, as it highlights the coercive nature of such regimes.
