Public education lied to us for 80 years about communism and fascism being polar opposites. Philosophically and structurally they are cousins. Both authoritarian, both control the means of production and property, except fascism contracts out industry into fiefdoms managed by corporatist lords. After that, any differences are just stylistic.
If you think of political idealism as a clock circle with conservatism and liberalism at the 9 and the 3 and libertarianism at the 6, communism and fascism both are approaching the 12 from opposite sides. In practice, they are almost indistinguishable.
